New Delhi: Indian golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar Wednesday said that his immediate goal is to win the Asian Order of Merit and finish the season as continent's No 1 pro. "I am currently placed second and my aim is to win the Asian Order of Merit title.
Secondly, having done well at the Avantha Masters, I would like to get a full tour card for the European PGA next season," the 24-year-old Bhullar told media persons after being announced as the Brand Ambassador of Tourism Authority of Thailand. As a mark of goodwill gesture, TAT has also contributed to "Gaganjeet Bhullar Foundation" which will groom upcoming golfers from the economically weaker strata of the society. Bhullar has a choc-a-bloc itinerary for the next few months as he gears up to hit the road.
"My first stop will be South Korea where I will take part in a co-sanctioned tournament. After that I have been invited to play in the Volvo China Open and the Japan PGA tour. I would certainly like to continue all the good work that I have put in the previous season and make it to the top-50 in the Fedex list."
Having played alongside Augusta Masters champion Adam Scott, Bhullar was happy that the Australian finally won a Major. "He is a fantastic golfer and we all used to ask him that when is he going to win a Major. He came really close at last year's British Open," Bhullar said. The Kapurthala lad
