Australian Marcus Fraser will take part in season ending Iskandar Johor Open in Malaysia this weak hoping to leapfrog Thaistalwart Thaworn Wiratchant and claim his first order of Merit title on the Asian Tour.
Second Place Fraser trails Thaworn by US$25.261,90 ahead of the $2 million event which starts on Thursday, with the Australian taking part after initially suggesting he may skip the event to play a One Asia tournament at home.
Fraser has pocketed $652.344 fromhis limited 10 Asian Tour appearances this year an took part in OneAsia’s Australian Open last week allowing Thawaron to stretch his lead at the Thailand Golf Championships.
Thaworn, who turns 46 later this mont, cloud have all but assured he woukd become the oldest golfer to win the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit title but a poor display with the driver on Sunday led to 77 and a disappointing tied 36th finish.
Thaworn has won the queens Cup in Thailand, the Selangor Master in Malaysia and the Indian Open this years but despite his success, five players stabd a chance of preventing him adding a second Order of Merit title after his 2005 triumph.
Fraser is without a win on tour this year but does have four top-four finishes in lucrative event co-sanctioned with the European Tour.
