Jakarta: India's Gaganjeet Bhullar and S Chikkarangappa registered creditable top-10 finishes at the BNI Indonesian Masters yesterday. While Bhullar ended the week the way he began it with a bogey-free round of 67 and finished at 12-under for fifth place, Chikka was one place behind him Tied-sixth.
Coming on the heels of a win in Korea the previous week, it signaled a welcome return to form of the 28-year-old Kapurthala golfer, Bhullar, who has six Asian Tour titles to his name. Returning from a wrist injury, he had just one birdie on front nine but four on back nine for his 67. He had a 66 on day one, but in between he shot 73 and 70.
Chikka also had an error-free round of 67 and it helped him finish at 11-under and in Tied-sixth place. Like Bhullar, he also had just one birdie on front nine and four on back stretch at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club.
Anirban Lahiri (70) was six-under for the week and tied-31st. Jyoti Randhawa (67) and Arjun Atwal (74) were tied-46th, while Rahil Gangjee (70), Chiragh Kumar (70) and Himmat Rai (75) were tied-43rd. Jeev Milkha Singh (71), in the top-10 after the first day ended tied-56th and Shiv Kapur (75), clearly not fully recovered yet, was tied-63rd and Abhinav Lohan (75) was tied 66th.
Bhullar said, "I played well for three days. Today was the first in a long time that I hit 14 fairways and 18 greens. A 62 was definitely out there."
