South Korean teenager Noh Seung-yul will bid this week to follow his record-breaking victory at the Malaysian Open by securing a place at the 150th anniversary British Open.
The 18-year-old, who became the youngest professional winner of a European Tour event when he triumphed on Sunday, competes in 36-hole British Open international final qualifying (Asia) at Saujana Golf Club near Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday and Thursday.
"This victory opens up a lot of doors for me so I'll see where it takes me," Noh told reporters at the weekend.
Seventy-two players from 18 nations will compete for four places in the third major championship of the season at the Old Course, St Andrews from July 15-18.
Also in action at Saujana is Thai Kiradech Aphibarnrat who finished third at the Malaysian Open, two strokes behind Noh.
The highest-ranked player in the field is world number 80 Hiroyuki Fujita of Japan.
