"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.
"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.
"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.
