Noren Hopes To Defend Title In Wales

Alex Noren is hoping to re-create the form that he showed last year as he looks to defend his ISPS Handa Wales Open title tomorrow.

The 29 year old Swede romped to a fantastic victory at The Celtic Manor Resort 12 months ago after also coming through US Open Qualifying on the Monday.

Noren is three-time winner on the European Tour,  he took 14th spot in The Race to Dubai last season, and finished joint top of this year’s US Open qualifier at Walton Heath  to book his place in San Francisco.

“It was pretty much exactly the same how it happened last year,” said Noren. “I was so pleased to get into the US Open, so I took this week as I was on a high, and then winning here was fantastic and it just went on from there.
