I am mentally and physically prepared for the international series in Philippines: Gaganjeet Bhullar

Manila, October 22 (IANS). India’s top golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar has expressed hope for a good performance in the Philippines International Series. He said that he is mentally and physically prepared for the tournament. This statement from Bhullar came after poor performance in Indonesia. Bhullar said: “This year has been really good. I’ve been hitting the ball well and performing consistently. In Jakarta I was ahead for most of the tournament but Wade did brilliantly in the last round. I’ve been working hard on my mental game and feel in better shape mentally as well as physically.” He said the Philippines International Series is important for the development of golf in Asia. Bhullar was in a three-way tie for first place with 11-time Asian Tour champion Scott Vincent of Zimbabwe and Wade Ormsby of Australia in the final round of the Jakarta International Championships. Bhullar eventually lost the T19 after a four-over final, while International Series Thailand 2023 champion Ormsby defeated Vincent to prevent the Zimbabwean from winning the tournament for the second consecutive time in the series. This result moved Vincent to the top of the rankings and secured a place in LIV Golf for the following season. Two-time Hong Kong Open champion Ormsby moved up to third place. Bhullar, who is ranked 35th, needs a good result or two as the series heads for a thrilling finish with plenty of points at stake in four tournaments in five weeks. With an impressive field featuring former World no. 1 Dustin Johnson and fellow Major champions Patrick Reed, Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen, as well as 11 other LIV golf stars, Bhullar will not have it easy. Other Indian golfers include Rehan Thomas, SSP Chawrasia, Ajitesh Sandhu and Karandeep Khochar.
