After a break of two weeks back home in Canberra, Brendan is now back in Japan as he looks ahead to a busy schedule over the next few weeks including when he represents Australia at the World Cup in China.

Brendan had three weeks at home and with events such as this week's Lexus Championship, the Visa Taiheiyo  where he will be defending, the Dunlop Phoenix, the World Cup, the Nippon Series and the Australian Open, it is full on between now and the end of his playing year.

"I only played 9 holes today," said Brendan from Japan tonight. "I played terribly but am very tired so hopefully I can get geared up for tomorrow's Pro Am in which I have an early draw and then the event on Thursday."

This week's event is a new addition to the Japan Golf Tour schedule and will be played at the Otone Country Club in Ibaraki.
