Shin, a two-time winner of the Toto Japan Classic, can reunite with old tour pals this weeks at Kintestsu Kashikojima Country Club.

“I had a new goal in Japan tour and that was to win Player of the Year,” said Shin, “and after making that I’m really thinking about going back to the U.S.”

The former World. No. 1 is currently 35th in the Rolex Rankings and 22nd in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings.
