Career victories:
The talented 31 year old's career has gone from strength to strength over the past 18 months. Towards the end of 2007 he claimed the BILT Open on the Indian Tour and then during the first half of last year he won the Singapore PGA Championship and the Mercedes-Benz Masters Indonesia.
Last year Lam also received a huge boost by qualifying and playing in all four rounds at the British Open in July - the first Singaporean to achieve the feat.
That was followed by an outstanding run of form on the Asian Tour during which he contended at the Barclays Singapore Open where he played his way into the final match on Sunday alongside Phil Mickelson.
Although Lam fell off the pace to finish tied 18th, he earned enough money to secure his full card for 2009 for the first time in his career. He has also played in the World Cup three times with Mardan Mamat - in 2002, 2005 and 2006 - and first qualified to play in the British Open in 2007.
