Noh raring to go
Young Korean ace ready to hit the ground running in Hawaii
Rising star Noh Seung-yul is aiming to make an immediate impact when he begins life on the US Tour this week.
The 20-year-old Korean, the 2010 Asian Tour number one, earned his Tour card in the United States through Qualifying School at the end of last year, and begins his campaign in this week's Sony Open in Hawaii.
"I have been dreaming of playing on the PGA Tour since I was so young. And this year I am starting my dream. I am really looking forward to it. I can't wait to play in my first PGA tournament," said Noh.
Since bursting onto the Asian Tour as a 16-year-old in 2008, Noh's stock has risen hugely. He won a first title in China during his rookie season to become the Asian Tour's Rookie of the Year and subsequently became the region's youngest ever number one by lifting the Order of Merit crown two years ago courtesy of a popular victory at the Maybank Malaysian Open.
The slender Korean, who is coached by Butch Harmon, hopes to make an immediate impact on the PGA Tour and has set himself some lofty goals. - www1.skysports.com
