Feeling confident that his game is in good space, Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma has brought back his old caddie, Vicky Sharma, as he aims to compete at the Tokyo Olympics later this year.

Shubhankar is starting his new season at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship this week.

"I do have some goals. Being fitter and being consistent is part of it. I also want some good early results to finish higher on Order of Merit. I feel my game is in a good place and one good week will make all the difference," he said.

"Getting to Tokyo would be great. That's what I want to do. If I play well in these early events which are big and have a lot of points, I will make good headway."
"We worked on various aspects and becoming fitter was part of the plan. We also worked on the short game, which is always a work in progress. In the middle of 2019 my short game was not the where I wanted it to be. By the end of the year when I had two Top-10s, it was fine. I hope to be more consistent."
