He’s chipped away at the rust and now Queenslander Andrew Dodt is eyeing off a second tournament triumph at Black Mountain Golf Club in Thailand at this week’s International Series Thailand.

Winner of the True Thailand Classic at Black Mountain in 2015, Dodt is one of 14 Australians teeing it up on the Asian Tour along with Kiwi pair Ben Campbell and Denzel Ieremia. Aussies are also in action at two PGA TOUR events, the LPGA and Epson Tours, DP World Tour and Champions Tour.

A two-time winner on the DP World Tour, Dodt was second behind Jed Morgan at the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship in January and is coming off a top-25 finish a week ago at the Royal’s Cup.

“I like my game at the moment, maybe a little rusty,” Dodt said.

“It’s just great to be back playing again. I have only played six events in the last two years. I am getting some momentum now and finding some form.

“I am 36, I know my game reasonably well now. If something goes wrong, I know how to fix it pretty quick. Wish I knew that when I was 25.”

Now based at Newcastle, Dodt’s experience playing in the wind is sure to come in handy again this week at a course renowned for challenging the strength of a player’s ball flight. “You have got to be good in the wind,” Dodt added.

“The mountain makes the wind swirl. You have holes that play up, you have holes that play down, and there are cross winds swirling around the mountain, so that’s tricky.

“And the greens get really firm. You really have to have all parts of your game on song.”

Runner-up at the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore a year ago, Hannah Green is chasing her third tournament win in succession in her first LPGA Tour start of the year.

The 25-year-old received worldwide attention for her triumph in the mixed TPS Murray River event a fortnight ago and has set her sights on a spot within the top 10 of the Rolex Women’s World Rankings by year’s end.

Fellow West Australian Minjee Lee has also set herself a lofty target, telling AAP that she wants to win the career grand slam after breaking through for her first major at last year’s Amundi Evian Championship.

“Having won Evian, I have a little bit more motivation to win every other major because my ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame,” said the world No. 7.

Jason Day’s withdrawal due to personal reasons leaves the Australian contingent at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at six, Min Woo Lee again receiving an opportunity to show his skills on the PGA TOUR.
