Looking for some fireworks in 2014: Two-time PGA winner Chopra

In a career spanning over 20 years, two-time PGA tour winner Daniel Chopra feels he has "under-achieved" but after regaining his 2014 PGA tour card, the Indian-born Swede golfer is now looking for something "spectacular" in the season ahead.

The 39-year-old golfer, who finished 21st on the 2013 Web.Com Tour regular season money list to earn his PGA Tour card, said he played well but he will look for some "fireworks" next season.

"I played well and consistently but I didn't have anything spectacular. I had a couple of third place finishes but never had any really low rounds. I was solid which is nice. I got my card for the PGA tour and that is a success," said Chopra, who finished tied third at the mid-Atlantic Championship and Price Cutter Charity Championship this season.
 

"I sacrificed a few PGA tour events which I could have played but I stayed at the web.Com to secure my card for next year and those sacrifices were worthwhile in the end.

"My game is good. I am not worried about any aspect of my good, every part is reasonably good. It is not spectacular but nothing is bad either, it is a reflection of the season I had," he added.

Reflecting on his career so far, Chopra said: "I think I have under-achieved. I feel I could have done a lot more. I hope it is yet to come. I am more experienced now.

"As I grow older, some of my ball striking is becoming consistent and I am a great putter. So I think I am getting better and better. If my career ends now, I would have achieved 25 per cent. So I have to rectify that," he said.

Asked what is his target next season, Chopra said: "I would be looking for more consistency, little more fireworks, some more spectacular rounds. If I had a few spectacular rounds of 63s and 64s, I could have won. I had lots of 68s and 70s.
