Ho Tram Open, an Asian Tour-sanctioned golf event with a total of 1.5 million U.S. dollars prizes, will kick off on Dec. 3-6 in Vietnam's southern Ba Ria Vung Tau province, organizers said Wednesday.

   Brian McFadden, famous Irish singer-songwriter, will also play at the golf tournament and sing "Flying Without Wings" - a huge hit from his time as a lead singer of the Irish boy-band Westlife.

   The Ho Tram Open is managed by the U.S.-based Troon Golf, the world's leading golf management company. The tournament will be televised live by key Vietnamese TV channels and many foreign ones.  Endi
