Brendan has finished in a share of 16th position at the opening event of the 2008 Japan Golf Tour season, the Token Homemate Cup, his final round of 71 losing him ground on a day that was perfect for scoring.

An early birdie had Brendan inside the top ten but a double bogey at the 5th would lose his momentum.

Despite what could be termed a disappointing day, it was overall a solid start to the season and given his lack of tournament play of late it allows Brendan to have his game in better shape as he heads into this coming week's Tsuruya Open, an event he has won on each of three last three occasions he has played.

The Tsuruya Open is played at the Yamanohara Golf Club in Hyogo Prefecture near Osaka
