Golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar shot a superb 7-under 65 to be 20-under and win the $5,00,000 Mandiri Indonesia Open.
Golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar produced one of the best rounds of his career when he needed it most to end India’s four-year long title drought on the Asian Tour.
Bhullar shot a superb 7-under 65 to be 20-under and win the $5,00,000 Mandiri Indonesia Open.
He won the tournament by two shots over countryman Rashid Khan (68) and Steve Lewton (64).
The last Indian win had come at the Panasonic Open by Khalin Joshi in 2018.
It was his 10th Asian Tour win, the most by an Indian as he extended his own record. He also became the first player to win the event three times, following his wins in 2013 and 2016.
“I love this course,” he said about Pondok Indah here.
Bhullar’s has a long-standing love affair with Indonesia. Four of his 10 Asian Tour wins have come here. His first career AT win was also in Indonesia at the Indonesia President Invitational in 2009 and his 10th win has come in the same country.
