MICHAEL SIM WILL COME OVER FOR NEXT
YEAR'S OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

Aberdeen-born Michael Sim, who finished joint 11th in the John Deere Open on the US PGA Tour on Sunday, has E-mailed Scottishgolfview.com from his United States base.

"I didn't try to qualify for the Open. I would love to play in it next year, not sure where it is (answer: Royal Birkdale), but I am looking forward to playing whether it is next year or the following.
"John Deere was a great tournament. The course suited my eye well, and I had my coach, David Milne over earlier in the week from Australia, so we worked hard and it was nice to get my best finish so far.
"Carnoustie should be a great test of golf. I have never played there but from what I have heard the lay-out is a fair challenge. I will definitely be watching on TV over here."
