Shubhankar Sharma, SSP Chawrasia and Gaganjeet Bhullar will lead India's charge at the Betfred British Masters golf tournament which kicks off here Thursday.
Shubhankar, who has two European Tour titles under his belt, is one of the three Indians in the field this week -- the other two being Chawrasia, four-time winner on European Tour, and Bhullar, whose sole win on the Tour came in Fiji last year.
Chawrasia will be the first of the three to tee off early at 7.30 am Thursday alongside Darren Fichardt and Oliver Fisher, while Bhullar goes out with Hugo Leon and Niklas Lemke and then Shubhankar plays with Sam Horsfield and Jason Scrivener in the afternoon.
Shubhankar got a taste of the tough windy and wet conditions here Wednesday and said he was relieved that the weather was going to be relatively better for the rest of the week.
"This course can be very tough in windy conditions like today during the Pro-Am. I am told the weather will be better next few days," he said.
"I had a good outing with Anirban (Lahiri) at Zurich Classic on PGA Tour. We were 19-under and 20-under and were in top five, but then our putting did not go the way it should have and we ended tied 22nd. I spent some time in Manchester and London and I feel fresh this week. We have a string of big events and then the Open."
