Other Asian partnerships to look out for at the World Cup of Golf include Korea’s Byeonghun An and Si Woo Kim, the 2017 PLAYERS Champion, Japan’s Satoshi Kodaira and Hideto Tanihara and Malaysia’s Gavin Green and Ben Leong.

An, who is now playing in his third season on the PGA TOUR, said the World Cup of Golf could also be a nice prelude to his hopes of breaking into the International team for the Presidents Cup. “I missed last two Presidents Cup, so I would love to play for the Internationals next year,” said An, a former U.S. Amateur champion.

Green, the Asian Tour No. 1 in 2017, was ecstatic to earn his first appearance in the World Cup of Golf as his career continues to trend upwards. “It’s amazing that I’ve qualified for the World Cup of Golf. I’ve always wanted to play in the event and to have the opportunity to represent Malaysia.”

Pride and passion, nation vs nation will very much be the main theme at the ISPS HANDA Melbourne World Cup of Golf, and Asia’s leading golfers will be aiming to bring honour and glory to their respective nations.
