August 27, 2015: India has four golfers teeing off this week at the Czech Masters in Prague. Shiv Kapur and Jeev Milkha Singh will certainly look to do better than their T53 effort at the Made in Denmark last week. SSP Chawrasia and Gaganjeet Bhullar will also hope to better their game to try and make the cut this week, after missing out on the weekend in Denmark.
Kapur will tee off from the 10th hole 15 minutes after noon local time on Thursday. He will be playing with Florian Fritsch and Marco Crespi.
Gaganjeet will fly from the same spot twenty minutes behind Kapur’s group with Ross McGowan and Benjamin Hebert. Jeev will be among the early birds, teeing off at 0745am from the 10th tee box with Roope Kakko and Anders Hansen.
Chawrasia will get his round going ten minutes after Jeev sets sail, but he will start his day from the first tee with Carlos Pigem and Scott Henry.
Ryder Cup star Victor Dubuisson will be joined by another former Ryder Cup player, Peter Hanson, for the opening two rounds of the of the D+D REAL Czech Masters.
Dubuisson, who starred alongside Graeme McDowell at Gleneagles last year, comes into this event on the back of a strong showing at the US PGA Championship, where the Frenchman finished in a tie for 18th place.
The 25 year old will play his first two rounds with Swede Hanson, who represented Europe at The 2010 and 2012 Ryder Cups, and two-time European Tour winner Thorbjørn Olesen.
Expect a lot of solid ball-striking from that three-ball, who will begin their respective Czech Masters challenges at 12:55 from the first tee.
Nicolas Colsaerts, another man who has tasted Ryder Cup glory before, will be entertaining the galleries with his big-hitting game from the first tee in the group behind Dubuisson’s.
Accompanying the Belgian for the first couple of days round the beautiful 7,516 yard Albatross Golf Resort, will be Frenchman Grégory Bourdy and American Peter Uihlein.
Form is the buzz word for our 08:05 tee time, with last week’s Made in Denmark winner David Horsey teeing it up from the tenth alongside the impressive James Morrison, and the man who shot a sensational nine under par 62 in the final round in Denmark last week, Kristoffer Broberg.
The group out ten minutes before that form three-ball, is another interesting one, with Eddie Pepperell and Matt Fitzpatrick, two of The European Tour’s most promising players, in action alongside Northern Ireland’s Michael Hoey, the five time European Tour winner.
