Thaworn And Prayad To Bid For Honours In Indonesia Open Presented By Enjoy Jakarta



Jakarta, June 22: Thailand’s Thaworn Wiratchant and Prayad Marksaeng, two of the regions’ finest players, will star in next month’s Indonesia Open presented by Enjoy Jakarta.

The US$1 million OneAsia event tees-off at Damai Indah Golf - Pantai Indah Kapuk Course from July 14 to 17.

It is the seventh leg of the season on OneAsia and will also feature Japanese legend Shigeki Maruyama, and Irishman Paul McGinley, Europe’s Ryder Cup hero.

Thaworn won the Indonesia Open by five strokes in 2005 at Cengkareng Golf Club, during a season when he tasted victory four times en route to becoming Asia’s number one.

He also made an impression on the leader board in last year’s Indonesia Open presented by Enjoy Jakarta finishing in a tie for fifth place.

The Thai star has an incredible haul of 14 tournament victories in the region and at the age of 44 he is still knocking on the door for more trophies.

Thaworn competed in OneAsia’s season opening Indonesia PGA Championship and finished in sole possession of fifth position.

He currently sits in 20th position on the 2011 OneAsia Order of Merit.

The smooth-swinging Prayad has lifted 10 major trophies in the region and enjoyed a magnificent year in 2008 with three victories on the Japan Tour resulting in a third place finish on the Money List.

He triumphed in the Dunlop Phoenix, the Mizuno Open and the Mitsubishi Diamond Cup in that brilliant 2008 season.

Prayad has struggled with injuries for a couple of years and embarked on a new fitness regimen at the start of the year to prepare himself for the 2011 campaign.
