Liang happy with Open debut, looks ahead to future

China's Liang Wenchong was happy after wrapping up his British Open campaign on Sunday, saying it would lay a foundation for him to become a major contender in the near future.

The reigning Asian Tour No 1 carded a final round of 4-over 74 at Royal Birkdale to end his week with a total of 19-over 299. It was his first time making the cut in three major appearances.

"I'm happy overall. This is my first time at The Open and I made it through the weekend," Liang said.
