After a good solid tournament in Nagoya last week, Brendan plays this week's Canon Open near Yokohama to the south of Tokyo.

The event is a new one on the Japan Golf Tour schedule and will be played at the Totsuka Country Club.

"I didn't play all that well last week, said Brendan on Tuesday, "The signs were good on Saturday but Sunday was pretty ordinary actually. Still it was a reasonable week and am certainly looking forward to this week in order that i can build on that."

Brendan has an 8.45 am tee time on day one.
