Intro:

Top golfers prepare for Ballantine's Championship by showing off bartending skills in Icheon, South Korea.

Script:

The Ballantines Championship trophy is well respected in the South Korean city of Incheon.

Darren Clarke, YE Yang, Adam Scott want to get their hands on it come Sunday.

The ever colourful Miguel Angel Jimenez is also eager to impress, alongside Ian Poulter.

Some of golf's top talent mixed it up with a pre-tournament party ahead of the European Tour event which tees off on Thursday.

Open champion Clarke will hope to halt his slide down the rankings after failing to finish in the top ten since his major victory in July.

Local hopes will rest on with former USPGA winner YE Yang who will not face reigning champion Lee Westwood - who has decided not to defend his title.

Westwood's absence leaves Australia's Scott as the highest ranked player to enter, at number 12 in the world.

Jimenez lost by a single shot to Westwood last year and the Spaniard will be confident of topping the leaderboard come Sunday afternoon.

But he may have to recover from a slow start if he overdoes the cocktails.
