Han Chang-won of Korea enjoyed the finest moment of his young golfing career when he booked a place at the 2010 Masters Tournament and International Final Qualifying for the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews with a dominant victory in the inaugural Asian Amateur Championship in China today (Sunday).

Leading by two shots overnight, the 17-year-old earned a trip to Augusta National next April by crushing the competition with a final-round two-under 70 at Mission Hills Golf Club’s World Cup Course, located about 90 minutes north of Hong Kong

Han finished with a 72-hole total of 12-under 276, five shots in front of compatriot and playing partner Eric Chun, who could only manage a 73 today. Chun joins his countryman in the final qualifying stage for next year’s Open Championship, the 150th anniversary of the storied event, for his efforts.
