\"I have a lot of friends over here and playing on the Asian Tour will be good for my Titleist Men\'s Vokey SM4 Wedge - Tour Chrome Finish
because there are a lot of good players on this Tour. There\'s going to be pressure for me to perform but I\'m going to focus on my game plan and if I can stick to it then I\'ll be fine,\" said the 23-year-old, who finished tied second in Qualifying School.
Byrne enjoyed a solid amateur career and is ready to take his Titleist Men\'s Vokey SM4 Wedge - Tour Chrome Finish

\"Yeah, I\'m coming back to my roots. My mum is Singaporean. I\'ve been in Singapore only four times and briefly in Japan. I haven\'t really spent much time in Asia. It is definitely different for me. It\'s not something I\'m used to playing in a heat like this. The food is a lot different too.
