Jeev, Chowrasia, Bhullar tee off today
Chandigarh, March 1 This will be the Chandigarh golf icon's first appearance in a tournament on home turf after a gap of 10 years. Although Jeev is yet to fully recover from his back injury, he decided to play in the tournament as "I want to give my maximum support to the PGTI, as it is doing a fantastic job for the development of professional golf in India.” Talking about his fitness, he said: “I am feeling much better at this stage, thanks to yoga and physical therapy. I think I should be fully fit by the second week of March when I head to Sicily for the next event on the European Tour.” Jeev will be pitted against the in-from SSP Chowrasia and Gaganjeet Bhullar and a host of other players who are waiting in the wings to strike it big. Chowrasia created history of sorts when he won the Avantha Masters, his second win on the European Tour. The Avantha Masters is the biggest prize money golf tournament played on Indian soil. Another Chandigarh golfer who made headlines in this tournament was 30-year-old Sujjan Singh who finished fifth and got full playing rights on the Asian Tour. Sujjan Singh, who is currently second on the Asian Tour Order of Merit, will also be seen in action tomorrow. Twentytwo-year-old Gaganjeet Bhullar, who heads the PGTI order of merit having won two of the three tournaments he has played so far, is a sure front-runner. He has had a grand start this season becoming the first Indian to win on the Challenge Tour when he clinched the inaugural Gujarat Kensville Challenge organised by the PGA European Tour in January this year. This big-hitter from Kapurthala is all set to make it his third win. The other big names in the fray for the four-day event followed by the pro-am event on March 6 are Mukesh Kumar, Chiragh Kumar, Sujjan Singh, Himmat Singh Rai, Manav Jaini, Vijay Kumar, Shamim Khan, Mandeo Singh Pathania, Raju Ali Mollah, Shankar Das, Sanjay Kumar, Amandeep Johl, Gaurav Ghei and Harmeet Kahlon. But the challenge could come from many more who will be among the more than 120 professional golfers who will tee off for the Rs 40 lakh prize money event. PGTI director Padamjit Sandhu said: “The tournament promises to be a huge draw for golf fans in Chandigarh. We thank the Chandigarh Golf Club for partnering with us in holding this event and look forward to a highly competitive week of golf.” Captain of the Chandigarh Golf Club course HS Kang, who will also be participating as an amateur player, said: “We look forward to hosting the Aircel PGTI Players Championship. The depth in the field and the increased prize purse make for a very interesting contest. The playing conditions are great and we are confident that the PGTI members will relish the experience of playing at this venue.” Chandigarh Golf Club has been the cradle of Indian professional golf having produced many top-class players over the years. It is known for its tight fairways and thick rough. The lush green fairways are bounded by groves of trees, which funnel out onto the green.
