Brendan will return to tournament golf next week at the ANA Open at the Sapporo Golf Club's Wattsu course.

Brendan is back after a break of six weeks in Canberra and although he has only played four rounds of golf in that time he is pleased with the way his swing is feeling. "The swing feels great," he said just a couple of days before heading to Japan. "With all courses down this way having their courses cored of late it has been hard to do any wothwhile practice on my short game so I will have to sharpen that up quickly.

"I am fresh however and that is normally a good thing for me."

Brendan will play the ANA Open, the Panasonic Open and the Coca Cola Tokai Classic in this three week stretch of events, return home for a week then head back for the Japan Open and the big money events late in this season on the Japan Golf Tour.
