PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s Nicho­las Fung (pic) hopes to book one of the two available berths to the 147th Open in Scotland via the Kolon Korea Open Golf Cham­pionship which starts tomorrow in South Korea.

The Kolon event has been a stranglehold of the Koreans in the last decade but the 28-year-old Nicholas is still aiming to punch above his weight at the US$1,125,000 (RM 4,506,028mil) event.
