Korea’s Seungyul Noh is also resuming action for the first time after completing his mandatory two-year military service in Korea. 

It will be the 2010 Asian Tour Order of Merit champion’s first competitive start since he fulfilled his military commitments a fortnight ago.

With a proud track record at the Bear’s Best Cheongna Golf Club and a consistent run of form, Vincent is optimistic of his breakthrough on the Asian Tour since earning his Tour card at Qualifying School in 2016.

Vincent believes his work ethics and affinity for the course will give him the added advantage at the event which is the first in Korea to be tri-sanctioned by the Asian Tour, Korean PGA and Japan Golf Tour Organisation (JGTO).

“I’ve some great results from this tournament and I’ve always played well here,” Vincent said.

“From what I’ve seen, the course looks similar and is in great shape. Hopefully my form is still there and I can go even better than what I did in the past.”

Meanwhile, Noh will be hoping to calm his own nerve as he steps up to the tee again after almost two years. While the 28-year-old is excited about making his comeback to professional golf, he also conceded he is feeling the pressure ahead of the event which starts on Thursday.

“It’s an interesting situation because I’ve never been in a position like this where I had such a long break away from competitive golf,” Noh said.

Korea’s Yikuen Chang, who lifted his maiden Asian Tour title in Chinese Taipei a fortnight ago, is determined to repay the faith with another winning performance.

Chang is the second Korean to win on the Asian Tour this season and hopes he can achieve similar glory at the 35th Shinhan Dongahe Open, which is backed by his sponsor.
