South Korea's Bae Sang-moon has set his sights on successfully defending the 29th GS Caltex Maekyung Open Golf Championship title when the tournament debuts on OneAsia next week.

The third leg of OneAsia will see Bae and the cream of Asian golf tee off at the challenging and "mountainous" Namseoul Country Club from May 6-9.

Kim Dae-sub, second behind Bae on the 2009 South Korean Tour Order of Merit will also aim to improve on his joint-third finish in last year's event. Kim has proven a strong match for Bae on several occasions, including OneAsia's inaugural Korean event at the Kolon-Hana Bank Korea Open in 2009, where Bae eventually triumphed with a one-stroke victory.

Bae, considered one of the most exciting prospects in Asian golf, beat countryman Ted Oh in a playoff at Namseoul last year. Oh, 33, is also set to return to the tradition-laced GS Caltex Maekyung Open to challenge his compatriot to a rematch.

The GS Caltex Maekyung Open has been played at Namseoul Country Club on nine of the last 11 occasions and Bae feels at home on the rolling fairways. The victory tasted even sweeter when he won the final play-off which took him by surprise.

"It was great to win last year because it was my first time in a playoff," he said.

"The last hole is a very tough hole at Namseoul. It has difficult greens, narrow fairways and many out of bounds. But I played it well and drove straight down the middle. It was a great feeling to win," said Bae, who has topped the Korean Tour Order of Merit for the last two years.
