Jeev Milkha Singh, returning to the Delhi Golf Course after five years, and the fast-rising Gaganjeet Bhullar will be the cynosure of all eyes when they tee up along with some top Indian and Asian golfers at the USD 300,000 Panasonic Open India starting here tomorrow.
"I am glad to be back after five years. I finished fourth when I played here the last time and aiming to win this week," Jeev said in the pre-tournament press conference at the Delhi Golf Club here today.
"Competition is very good and I am looking forward to a good week. I have played well in the Panasonic Open in Japan and hoping to do well here also. I have never won at the Delhi Golf Club and I want to get this monkey off my back," said the seasoned pro.
Also competing at the third edition of the Asian Tour event would be Bhullar, who made a fine start to the season by finishing second in the European Tour's Avantha Masters.
"Having cracked inside the top-100 (in the world rankings) has given me a lot of confidence. The way I am striking the ball, victory is coming very soon," said the Kapurthala-lad.
"I had a great start to the season. Last season was also good for me and it has given me a lot of confidence," he added.
Joining them would be inaugural champion Anirban Lahiri and the defending champion Digvijay Singh.
"It's always nice to come back to a course where you have done well. I was quite fortunate to win here. I am looking forward to a solid week of game," said Lahiri.
"Till the last few holes last year, I wasn't giving myself any chance. This year, I feel I am a little more consistent than what I was last year," added Digvijay.
