For a third straight year the picturesque Prosper Golf Club at Celadna will host the Czech Open.

Designed by Miguel Angel Jimenez and opened 10 years ago, the course is hilly, tree-lined and places an emphasis on accuracy.

Water comes into play on nine holes, while the greens are undulating on a course surrounded by the Beskydy mountain range.

So who's taking part this week?

Tano Goya: The only golfer teeing-up who has posted top-10 finishes in both previous tournaments held at Prosper.

David Howell: Showed glimpses of his old form in Ireland where he was tied for the lead through 54 holes before closing with a two-over-par 73

Scott Jamieson: The rookie Scot has enjoyed an excellent first season on the European Tour.

Miguel Angel Jimenez: Tied-for-seventh last year and should perform well on his 'own' course. The veteran Spaniard will hopefully not be too affected by jet-lag on his journey back from the PGA Championship in Atlanta.

Peter Lawrie: Second in the Czech Republic last year and a consistent performer in tournaments of this stature. He tied-for-eighth on home soil in Ireland three weeks ago.

Robert Rock: A winner on Tour earlier this year and will expect to do well in a field lacking big name pros.
