Liu looking to maintain his momentum

Liu Yanwei plans to keep things simple in his pursuit of a career breakthrough at the $300,000 Thailand Open, which gets underway on Thursday.

The 19-year-old, who is the only Chinese player in the field this week, claimed his first top-10 finish on the Asian Tour in Bangladesh earlier this year and tied for 11th place in the European Tour's Shenzhen International last month.

Liu has also enjoyed solid finishes on the Asian Development Tour, with two top-three results in three starts this season to boost his world ranking from 1,092 to 556.
