A strong Indian contingent would look to further bolster its image as a major superpower in Asian golf, as no less than nine Indians will vie for glory at the high-profile USD 2.5 million Maybank Malaysian Open starting here tomorrow.

The field includes newly-crowned Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, 2010 British Open winner Louis Oosthuizen, PGA Championship holder and world number one Martin Kaymer and world number nine Rory McIlroy.
