Thai prodigy Jazz determined to keep hitting the high notes

With a first name that's a headline-writer's dream and a surname that would twist the tongues of even the best sports announcers, Thailand's Jazz Janewattananond (pronounced Jane-wa-taar-na-non) has become one of the most talked-about young talents to burst onto the golf scene in the past 12 months.

Aged 23, Jazz (a nickname bestowed on him by his music-mad dad) has already won two co-sanctioned Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour tournaments, as well as notching 10 other top-10s.

He is now just nine places off the world's top 50, and those who have followed his progress since he emerged as a wide-eyed 14-year-old kid will vouch that he has the talent, determination and swagger to be Asian golf's next big star.
