Johl keen to extend fine form in Japan golf



Tokyo, June 27 (IANS) Inspired by compatriot Jeev Milkha Singh's success, India's Amandeep Johl hopes to continue his fine form into the UBS Japan Golf tour starting here Thursday.

Johl, playing for the first time on the Japan mainland, lies 17th on the Asian Tour's Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) Order of Merit with two top-three finishes so far this season. He had a poor 2005 season.

'I set very small goals having coming off a disappointing 2005 campaign without keeping my card,' said Johl, who has been invited by the title sponsor as part of its partnership with the Asian Tour's Order of Merit.

One of my goals was to get my card and fortunately I have been able to essentially secure that, which has enabled me to change my focus for the second half of the season.'

Johl, 37, is keen to make the best use of this opportunity.

'I hope I can continue my fine form in Tokyo and use this (competition) to catapult me into the second half of the Asian Tour schedule, so, I can move further up the UBS Order of Merit,' he said.

Johl is inspired by the stunning 2006 success of Jeev, the current leader of the UBS Order of Merit. Jeev enjoyed a great year by winning Volvo China open in April, recording seven top-10s and playing all four rounds of US Open.

Johl now hopes to get in a practice round with Jeev so that his form rubs off on him.

'It will be great to have a compatriot here, in addition to the many Asians who challenge more regularly in Japan throughout the year,' he said. 'I believe I have a great chance, and am thankful to UBS for giving me this unique opportunity that I will aim to take full advantage of.'

The tournament will be played over the 7,179-yard West Course at Shishido Hills Country Club, located in Ibaraki Prefecture, about 90 minutes northeast of Tokyo.

The prize money will be increased by 25 percent to a record Yen 150 million ($1.2 million). The champion will take home a cheque for Yen 30 million ($2,58,450), as well as a trophy.
