I\u2019ve seen players on the US and European Tours winning in their 40s and it encouraged me a lot. I kept myself fit and worked hard on my game so I would be the same as them,\u201d said Mardan.<\/p>\n<p>Other Asian Tour stars who will feature in the Volvik Hildesheim Open J Golf Series include Australia\u2019s Scott Hend, a two-time Asian Tour winner, India\u2019s Himmat Rai and Malaysia\u2019s Danny Chia.<\/p>\n<p>The Volvik Hildesheim Open J Golf Series will be jointly sanctioned with the Korean Golf Tour and will be the 12th leg of the 2012 Asian Tour Schedule and also the third event to be staged in Korea this season.<\/p>\n<p>Volvik, the leading manufacturer of colour golf balls produced in Korea, is title sponsoring the tournament as an expansion to an earlier commitment to support professional golf at the highest level in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>This is also the first time a golf ball manufacturer is title sponsoring a tournament on the Asian Tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seoul: Siddikur of Bangladesh will be looking to end his two-year title drought at the inaugural Volvik Hildesheim Open J Golf Series which makes its debut at the Hildesheim Country Club in Chungchung north province from June 21 to 24.
