Inspirational stuff
Sandhu, 29, is the 23rd Indian male golfer to win an international pro title and it is the 78 title overall. It is the 62nd Asian Tour title for India, and 10 of them have been co-sanctioned with Europe. It is the 45th title won by an Indian outside India. "I'm still shaking from the last putt but now that I'm thinking about it, it is absolutely amazing. I thought I would be a lot more nervous than what I was, but I had so much of support from India. So many people, including people I don't know were messaging me. That really calmed me down," said Sandhu.


Matter of pride
"I'm proud that I was able to focus on my game. I was just trying to hit the next shot the best that I could and I won."
