The event will see 105 players compete over 36 holes, with a cut reducing the field to 32 ahead of Saturday's round with scores reset.

Scores will then be reset again for the top 16 players to battle it out on Sunday.

Shinkwin, a winner of the Aphrodite Hills Cyprus Open over the same stunning layout last week, begins his opening round at 07.55 alongside Sweden's Marcus Kinhult and Finland's Sami Välimäki.

Big-hitting Belgian Thomas Detry is in the next group out at 08.05 with India's Shubhankar Sharma and France's Joël Stalter.

The 08.15 group sees Jamie Donaldson look to build on a strong showing last week in the company of Spain's Jorge Campillo and Denmark's Rasmus Højgaard.

Last week's runner-up Kalle Samooja goes out at 08.35 alongside English pair Marcus Armitage and Jordan Smith.

Former U.S. Open Championship winner Michael Campbell is in the 10.15 group with South Africa's Zander Lombard and Germany's Sebastian Heisele.

Dutchman Joost Luiten tees off at 11.35 with China's Li Haotong and South Africa's Wilco Nienaber for company, with former Ryder Cup star Nicolas Colsaerts out at 11.55 alongside Matthieu Pavon and Jack Senior.
