Harrington, Monty boost Johor golf field

24 August 2010 , By AFP

Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington and Europe?s 2010 Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie added more star power Thursday to this year's Johor Open.

The pair were confirmed for the 1.25 million US dollar event in Malaysia from October 14 to 17.

They join defending champion K.J. Choi and South African stalwart Retief Goosen in an Asian Tour event that organisers plan to co-sanction with the European Tour from next year.

"I've played in Malaysia a number of times but never in Johor and I'm thrilled with the prospect of playing against some of the world?s best players in the Iskandar Johor Open," said Harrington.

The tournament is played at the Horizon Hills Golf and Country Club.
