KEY POINTS:
Colin Montgomerie will this week attempt to become only the second player to retain the Hong Kong Open golf title in the event's 48-year history.
The European No 1 is looking to emulate Taiwan's Hsieh Yung Yo, who won the tournament in 1963 and 1964, but the 43-year-old Briton faces stiff opposition in the second event on the 2006-07 European Tour schedule.
World No 5 Retief Goosen and former US Open winner Michael Campbell will be keen to improve on their joint third-place finishes at the Champions Tournament in Shanghai.
The first round of the US$2 million ($3.07 million) event is tomorrow.
