However, I'm still working on addressing a few issues with my driving as driving and putting will be key this week."I have some good memories from my victory last year at the Asian Games Trials held at KGA. I'll look to use that to my advantage this week. It's a very good field at this event with many top names from the Challenge Tour competing so it will be a tough contest for the Ind," he added.Italy's Lorenzo Scalise, one of the top foreign players in the field this week who finished fourth at KGA last week, said, "Last week was my third top-five finish in a row and it proves to me that I'm on the right track."The goal is to be in contention as many times as I can throughout the year and hopefully, I can do that again this week.
