Gaganjeet Bhullar: In a tough phase

I was playing very well till September last year until the wrist injury happened. The injury had a major impact on my game and I wasn’t at my best from there on.

It’s been a tough phase of my career. It’s been frustrating and my patience has been tested. I’ve almost recovered from the ligament tear injury now and there is not as much pain as I had earlier. Fortunately, I didn’t need to alter my swing.

The Hyderabad Golf Club is in great shape and the weather conditions are perfect so we can look forward to an exciting week of golf. Putting will be the key this week as the greens are quite challenging. It’s important where you place your ball especially on the greens. I love the layout of this course. It’s unique and unlike most other courses in the country.

Anirban Lahiri’s recent successes are the best thing to happen to Indian golf. We needed someone in the top-50 for the game to grow further in the country. I’m very happy for him since we’ve played a lot together since our junior days. I’m confident India will produce many more champions in the coming years.
