2010 asian tour

Post by ajay »

Here is report on stunning last day performance of Gaganjeet Bhullar.
India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar produced a brilliant course record eight-under-par 64 to win the season-opening Asian Tour International by one shot on Sunday.

Starting the final round six strokes back, Bhullar reinforced his growing reputation as one of Asia’s brightest prospects with a superb come-from-behind victory, the second of his career, at the Suwan Golf and Country Club.

The 21-year-old Indian sank an eagle and six birdies for an unblemished card and edged out Korea’s Hwang Inn-choon, who signed for a 69 for second place in the US$300,000 event.
“It’s amazing. I have no words to describe it, I’m totally speechless. When I woke up this morning, I just wanted to shoot a good number. I never ever thought I was going to shoot a 64 and win by one. It’s like a dream coming true. My first event of the year and winning at the start of the season will give me a lot of confidence,” said Bhullar, who pocketed US$47,550.

Bhullar’s title charge was sparked by an eagle at the par five second hole when an eight iron approach stopped three feet of the flag. He nailed four more birdies to turn in 30 and added two more birdies on 15, for the outright lead, and 18 to clinch a memorable triumph with his winning total of 11-under-par 277.

Bhullar said: “After 15 where I made a good curling putt, I told myself to make par on 16 and 17 and make birdie on 18. Everything happened the way I decided. On 18, it was amazing. I told myself that the putt was to win the tournament.
“It was a crucial one as I had missed the same putt last the two days from the nearly same line. I had a bit of an idea that it would come from the right. I just got lucky. I’m sure my confidence will go up a long way. I’m looking forward to next week (Avantha Masters). It’s a big event and I love the DLF course as I’ve won there twice (on the local circuit). Going back to play in front of the home crowd will give me a great sense of achievement.

"Last night, I was surfing the web and I clicked on asiantour.com and they had a poll “Who do you think will win the Asian Tour International” and my name was there. I clicked on my name and I had the highest votes. I told myself that it was a bit of a disappointment that I wouldn’t win as I had so many votes. But it shows that anything can happen in golf."

Hwang turned in 33 to lead the field by one but rued costly mistakes on 11 and 17. “I don’t know what happened with those dropped shots. I kept finding the hazard. On 11, I tried to hook my ball around the tree but it went straight into the water and then the same thing again on 17 when I hooked my drive into the water,” said the Korean.

“I knew I needed an eagle to force a play-off at the last and I hit a good utility wood into the green but had a really tough and long putt. There was no pressure at all and I guess 64 was a really good score by Gaganjeet,” said Hwang.

I think that Gagan is also momentum guy. He carries over the good form to the next tournament. And this time it is a big event at home. So I'm excited and looking forward to this week.

2010 asian tour: Myanmar Open

Post by ajay »

Eight of the Nine Indians making cut - That's good!! For second consecutive day Gaurav (Pratap) Singh is the leading Indian at Mayanmar Open.

10 Gaurav SINGH  67 70 -7
13 Anirban LAHIRI 70 68 -6
21 Gaganjeet BHULLAR  71 68 -5
41 Himmat RAI  70 71 -3
50 Rahil GANGJEE  73 69 -2
50 C. MUNIYAPPA  69 73 -2
58 Firoz ALI 76 67 -1
58 Digvijay SINGH  70 73 -1
************** CUT (-1)
81 Gurki SHERGILL  73 72 1

Times of India wrote:YANGON: Gaurav Pratap Singh fumbled on the back nine to slip to tied 10th and seven of his compatriots made the halfway cut to hang around for weekend action in the $300,000 Myanmar Open golf tournament on Friday.

Of the nine-member Indian contingent, only Gurki Shergill (145) failed to make the cut, having fallen two shots of the 143-mark.

Japan's Tetsuji Hiratsuka fired seven-under 65 for a two-day total of 15-under 129 that fetched him a five-shot cushion ahead of Hideto Tanihara and Prayad Marksaeng.

Overnight tied fifth, Gaurav Pratap Singh (137) was three-under after a flawless front nine but he dropped three bogeys, as against a couple of birdies, on his way back to settle for a two-under 70 card.

"My round was okay but I could have finished better if not for a couple of bad decisions," Gaurav later said.

"I saw my score after the first nine and knew I was right up there but I told myself to stay calm and just play my game," he added.

Anirban Lahiri fired a four-under 68 to soar to tied 13th, one shot behind Gaurav.

Trailing Lahiri by one shot was Gaganjeet Bhullar, who turned in an identical 68 to lie tied 21st.

Himmat Rai (141) carded one-under 71 to join eight others at the 41st place, one shot ahead of Kolkata pro Rahil Gangjee (69) and Indian Open champions C Muniyappa, who share the 50th place.

Further one shot behind was the Firoz Ali-Digvijay Singh duo, having carded 67 and 73 respectively to lie tied 58th.
