The Open is just a few days away and we are all set to witness days of frenzy at the Royal Portush.

Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Jazz Janewattanond, Prom Meesawat and Gunn Charoenkul are ready to fulfill their major ambitions by putting up strong performances at The 148th Open which gets underway next week.

Flying the Thai flag for the Asian Tour, the quartet are proven winners in their own right and will now be seeking to extend their winning run at golf’s oldest Major which returns to the Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush after 68 years.

No player in the elite field has ever contested a Major at Royal Portrush before and The 148th Open, which tees off from July 18-21, will now provide everyone with an equal chance as they tee off against the spectacular golfing links on the coast of north Antrim in Northern Ireland.

Kiradech, who is the highest-ranked Thai at 51st on the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), will be making his sixth appearance at The Open.

While he has missed the cuts in four of his previous appearances in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, a tied-75th finish saw him make the weekend rounds for the first time in Carnoustie last year.

As the first Thai golfer to hold a PGA TOUR card, Kiradech has since enjoyed an encouraging start in the United States with commendable results that include a tied-third and fifth finish at the WGC-Mexico Championship and AT&T Byron Nelson respectively this year.

“I’ve worked hard over the last few years and I’ve given myself some chances. I’m not far off from winning. It’s a dream come true and I hope I can make my country proud with my achievements.

“I want to do everything I can to win the biggest tournaments. That’s my goal,” said the 2013 Asian Tour Order of Merit champion.
