Liu Yan-wei of China
The 19-year-old Liu, only Chinese player in the elite field this week, is enjoying one of his best seasons so far, claiming one top-10 result on the Asian Tour in February and another tied-11th place finish on the European Tour last month.
Liu, ranked 556th on the latest Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), also enjoyed solid finishes on the Asian Development Tour (ADT), claiming two top-three results in three starts this season. He was placed at 1092nd position at the start of the season.
"This course condition is pretty good. It’s been raining quite a bit so it was kind of wet out there. This is my first time playing on this course. I played in the pro-am today and it’s been great. It wasn’t really windy when I played but I think it will be tough when the wind picks up."

"I am looking forward to the week ahead. I have been working hard on my game lately just to prepare myself for this week.
I had a good result on the European Tour in Shenzhen last month. It was my best ever result on the European Tour so it has given me a lot of confidence. I am pretty satisfied with my season so far. I have had some commendable results on the Asian Tour and the Asian Development Tour as well. It has been one of my best starts to a season so far in my career." said Liu.
Liu will be among the elite field contending for the prestigious title at the highly-acclaimed Thai Country Club, which has hosted Asian Tour events in the past.
"It’s great to have the tournament back on the schedule. It’s a very prestigious event. It’s lovely to be back at the Thai Country Club. Before I went to Chinese Taipei for the Yeangder Heritage which I won last month, I actually came to the Thai Country Club to practise." said Shiv Kapur
