In contrast to the United States or Europe, Teravainen would find immediate success in Asia. In 1996 he would finish runner-up at the Asian Tour’s Rolex Singapore Masters and win the Merlion Masters. Both events were held in his hometown of Singapore. He would also win the Japan Open Golf Championship, the flagship event of the Japan Golf Tour. The victory would give him a 10-year exemption in Japan. Teravainen, who was already phasing out his European Tour schedule, would play in very limited schedule in Europe from then on and rarely in other parts of the world to focus on Japan. 1997 was another excellent season for Teravainen. He would win the Descente Classic Munsingwear Cup and finish second in the Japan Match Play, losing to Japanese star Shigeki Maruyama in the finals. These performances would help him break into the top 100 in the world for the first time in his career. He would also qualify for the Open Championship and, for the only time, the U.S. Open that summer. He was suddenly something of a celebrity in Japan. He was recognized by many across the country and wrote about his life for Japanese golf magazines. Sports Illustrated eventually featured him in a full-length profile.
