Noh among four British Open qualifiers

Thu 11th, March 2010

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Sports Network) - Less than a week after winning his first European Tour event, Seung-yul Noh was one of four qualifiers at the International Final Qualifying for the British Open, which will be contested at St. Andrews in July.

Noh posted rounds of 66-68 at Saujana Golf and Country Club to share second place behind Hiroyuki Fujita, who shot 67-66 to take the top spot.

Noh, who won the Malaysian Open by a single stroke over K.J. Choi, shared second place with Danny Chia. The final qualifier was amateur Eric Chun, who birdied the final hole to finish one stroke ahead of three players.

These four join six other players that qualified for the season's third major championship back in January. The first qualifier, held in Australia, produced three Australian qualifiers -- Kurt Barnes, Ewan Porter and Peter Senior.

The second qualifier was held at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington, where South Africans Darren Fichardt, Jean Hugo and Josh Cunliffe qualified. Cunliffe advanced via playoff besting Oliver Bekker and Joost Luiten.

There are two more qualifiers for players to compete in to earn a spot in the British Open. The next qualifier will be May 24 in Texas and the final qualifier is June 7 in England at Sunningdale.
