18 year old NOH wins Malaysian Open in style.

South Korean teenager Noh Seung-yul edged out compatriot K J Choi by one shot to win the Maybank Malaysian Open following a dramatic finale at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club.

The 18 year old holed a four foot birdie putt on the 18th green to card a four under par 68 after playing a superb chip shot from the edge of the practice putting green behind a hospitality marquee.

Choi, 39, had earlier birdied the last to card a three under par 69 and post the clubhouse lead at 13 under.

“I first won on the Asian Tour in 2008 but I struggled last year, but to win early in this year I am very happy,” said Noh, who now holds card in Asia, Europe and Japan.

“Coincidentally, when I was playing a practise round with K J earlier in the week he asked me when my last win was and when I told him it was in 2008 he said ‘isn't it about time you won?’

The win was worth €246,290 and a full 2 year exemption on the European tour.

Peter Lawrie was the only Irishman to make the cut and he finished well in a share of 10th place after rounds of 69,72,71,68 for an 8 under par total.He won €26,488.

Darren Clarke opened with a 73 but fell foul to the heat in round 2 with a 77 to miss the +1 cut by 5 shots.

Gary Murphy didn't like the heat or the course.He had his worse tournament for years when he returned a 78 and 79 to miss the cut by a massive 12 shots.
