Defending champion Nicolas Colsaerts is hoping that a return to this week's Volvo China Open will reignite his form.
The 29-year-old's victory in Chengdu last year confirmed him as one of Europe's rising stars and enabled him to gain entry into golf's biggest events - the Majors and the World Golf Championships.
Colsaerts has been quiet of late, failing to record any significant performances, but he can't wait to defend a title for the first time in his career.
"This is the first time I have defended a title so I am looking forward to it very much," the Belgian told Europeantour.com.
"Obviously the Volvo China Open moves course every year so it won't have the same feeling as returning to the same course, but I am glad to be going back. It changed a lot for me.
"I got into tournaments I haven't played before, I got into Majors and it made me realise that I could mix it with some of the big boys so it was a big win for me and great for my confidence. Winning the Volvo China Open then led to the Volvo World Match Play where I played so well, and it kind of led on from there.
"After ten years of trying to win, I finally did it and it really helped me to realise how could I could be. It set me on a whole new career path, and really helped me fulfil a lot of the potential I knew I had.
"Winning in China changed me as a golfer. It made me realise I can win big events and gave me the belief that I can win on any week, and that is something that I do every time I tee it up now. It has changed the way I see tournaments and the way I handle myself in tournaments."
Colsaerts will square off against the likes of former champion Paul Casey, Peter Hanson, Paul Lawrie and Ian Poulter at Binhai Lake Country Club come Thursday.
