China’s Carl Yechun Yuan is confident he will find his footing on the PGA TOUR starting with this week’s Cadence Bank Houston Open following a rough start to life in his rookie campaign.

The 25-year-old from Dalian missed the cut in his opening three tournaments of the 2022-23 Season after earning his TOUR card by finishing second on the Korn Ferry Tour in the recent season where he picked up one victory and eight top-10s.

A two-week break at home has provided him with a timely reset ahead of his campaign at the Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas, which will feature World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler, Sam Burns, Yuan’s fellow compatriot Marty Zecheng Dou and Asian stars Hideki Matsuyama, Si Woo Kim and Byeong Hun An.
