For an Asian Tour player, he is the most consistent guy and one of the greatest guys I have ever met. He is just a great ambassador for Asia. I just feel like he will soon pick up a Major,\u201d said Daly.<\/p>\n<p>Thongchai picked up the biggest win of his stellar career this year when he beat a strong field to lift his first title on European soil at the ISPS Handa Wales Open. The three-time Asian Tour number one will return to the Thailand Golf Championship in good form.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a very good year for me, better than the other previous years. The Thailand Golf Championship is a very important event for me as it\u2019s in my home country. I want to play well there, not only for the fans but also because of the world ranking points. My goal is to break into the world\u2019s top-50 and playing well at Amata Spring will help a lot,\u201d said Thongchai, who is currently ranked 117th.<\/p>\n<p>Daly will be joined by fellow Americans Hunter Mahan and 2012 Masters Tournament champion Bubba Watson at Amata Spring in one of the most competitive fields ever assembled in the Kingdom. However, Thongchai is confident the home-grown talent can compete with the best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it is quite a strong field this year. I think anybody can win. I will try my best and I like the course. A couple of Thai players also have a good chance like last year,\u201d said Thongchai.<\/p>\n<p>A perennial crowd-favourite, Daly will be looking to improve on his 16th position at last year\u2019s inaugural event and is excited about returning to Amata Spring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangkok: American \u201cGrip it-and-Rip it\u201d star John Daly has tipped Thai hero Thongchai Jaidee to become Asia\u2019s next Major champion.
