Big dreams for Indian golf
Randhawa is also full of praise for senior compatriot Jeev Milkha Singh, who has toppled him as the highest ranked Indian golfer. “I am happy for him. He was one of those we followed. He deserves to be there, because he has played the best golf among all the Indians this year.”
The 34-year-old golfer also said that Jeev’s winning of China Open has boasted his confidence, “Since winning the China Open this year, he is a different player altogether. He has grown in confidence and playing well.”
With Jeev all set to finish on top of the Asian Tour Order of Merit list, Randhawa wishes him all the best. “I have won it in 2002, (Arjun) Atwal won it in 2003 and now Jeev. Indian golf never had it so good.”
On Arjun Atwal’s poor season so far, Randhawa explained that it is not easy to maintain the tempo, “After a wonderful time last year, things did not go well for him this time. But one has to consider that USPGA Tour is the toughest place to be. Playing their week in and week out with players like Tiger Woods, Ernie Els and others, it is very tough to maintain your game. What you think great may not be good enough to make a cut there. I think he will come out of it.”
