Brendan is back in Tokyo tonight (Tuesday) as he prepares for his last event of the year on the Japan Golf Tour, the Golf Nippon Series, where he will defend the title he won last year.

After an exciting week in China, where he and fellow Australian Richard Green did so well when finishing third at the Omega World Cup of Golf, it is back to business in regular tournament golf this week at the Tokyo Yomiuri Golf Club in the suburbs of Tokyo.

"We were a bit disappointed as you could well imagine. Just couldn't get anything going on the Sunday. The round by the Swedes was nothing short of exceptional and we still would've needed 6 under to win. Still it was a good result and third at the World Cup is not all bad."

This week's field consists of 27 players made up from various money lists and tournament winners playing for ￥100,000,000 or A$1.65 million
