Singh aiming to end Asian drought

Jeev Milkha Singh has signalled his intention to become the first Asian player in ten years to win the UBS Hong Kong Open.

The Indian is fresh from his win at the Singapore Open last weekend and says that he is at home with the course at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling.

Singh also expressed his surprise that no player from Asia had won the title in over a decade, the last being South Korea's Kang Wook Soo in 1997.

He commented: "The course doesn't really suit Europeans or Asians. I think it is all dependent on the mindset and how the form is. Hopefully it changes this year.

"I have good memories from Hong Kong in 2006. Fanling is an old, traditional course. You have to think a lot there. It's a great layout and the weather is always nice."

Defending champion Miguel Angel Jimenez will be joined by his compatriot Jose Maria Olazabal, who won the title in 2001.
