Golfer Randhawa looks for Indonesia Open title

Veteran golfer Jyoti Randhawa will aim to eclipse the young stars at the Indonesia Open next week.

The experienced Indian will be among a star-studded cast at the $750,000 Asian Tour event which includes multiple Major champion Padraig Harrington of Ireland, title holder and Indian Gaganjeet Bhullar, and veterans Mardan Mamat and Prayad Marksaeng.

A cosmopolitan line-up from over 25 countries, including Scott Hend of Australia, will also vie for honours at the Pantai Indah Kapuk Course Dec 4-7.

The 42-year-old Randhawa, a former Asian No.1, hopes to win his ninth Asian Tour title here.

He was defeated by countryman Rashid Khan at the Chiangmai Golf Classic two weeks ago but his performance gave him a much needed boost towards the tail-end of the 2014 season.

"These young guys look up to me and try to beat me but now I have to keep up with them. I'm looking forward to it and I'm glad that I'm there and a threat to them," said Randhawa.
