Magnus get a wild card!
The 2000 Heineken Open champion Magnus Norman of Sweden has been given a wildcard entry to January's Open in Auckland.
Norman, who is currently ranked 107th in the world beat Michael Chang that year and then went on to win four other titles which saw his ranking reach number two at one stage.
Norman has since been plagued by injuries.
There are two other wildcards for the tournament that tournament director Graham Pearce will allocate closer to the event.
