Noh Seung-yul and Thongchai Jaidee will lead a strong Asian contingent at the Omega European Masters, with the pair hoping to reproduce their fine recent performances in the Swiss Alps.
The event at Crans-sur-Sierre from September 1-4 is co-sanctioned with the Asian Tour, whose 2010 Order of Merit champion Noh, an Omega Ambassador, finished fourth last year. Jaidee also impressed in 2009 finishing fifth.
Noh won the Maybank Malaysian Open in 2010 and after making swing changes under the guidance of world renowned coach Butch Harmon the 20 year old finished tied 30th at the US Open Championship last month.
He said: “I’m looking forward to returning to Crans-sur-Sierre. I finished nicely there last year because I was more familiar with the course. I like playing there, it suits my game and it is a very beautiful golf course.”
New Asian Tour champions Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand, Anirban Lahiri of India will also make their debuts in the €2,000,000 event.
