Bhullar wants one final shot at Merit honours in Iskandar Open

Getting ready for the final event of the 2012 season on Asian Tour, Bhullar is lying fourth on the Order of Merit ahead of the Iskandar Johor Open which tees off here on Thursday.

Apart from Bhullar, there is a strong Indian presence at the event with the likes of Shiv Kapur, Anirban Lahiri, Jyoti Randhawa, SSP Chowrasia, Himmat Rai, Digvijay Singh, Chiragh Kumar, Shankar Das and Ajeetesh Sandhu also competing for the top honours.

The field also has Daniel Chopra, who was sixth last week in Thailand Golf Championships, and he will be looking to revive memories of his first pro win achieved in Johor back in 1993.

The presence of Major champions like Ernie Els, Michael Campbell and John Daly besides Sergio Garcia, a perennial favourite, has made the field world class.

India holds the distinction of having produced the most number of Merit champions with Jyoti Randhawa (2002) followed by Arjun Atwal in 2003. Jeev Milkha Singh secured a double with wins in 2006 and 2008. And it is a proud record that Bhullar hopes to add his name too. MORE
