Siddikur Rahman hopes to take advantage of his terrific track record at the Delhi Golf Club when he aims for a third Asian Tour win at the Panasonic Open India which starts today.
The popular Bangladeshi has won once at the venerable Delhi course and finished runner-up on three occasions in the last five years. He has also secured eight other top-10 results, making him one of the top favourites to contend for the Panasonic Open India title this week.
Despite his impeccable track record at the tree-lined Delhi course, Siddikur is slightly disappointed that he has not won more Asian Tour titles at the venue.
“I finished second so many times here and that could have been victories. I wish I won more at Delhi because this golf course suits my game. I have good confidence here and that’s the key to playing well here,” he said.
After taking a week’s break, Siddikur is fully recharged and ready to challenge for honours on his favourite hunting ground.
“I had a break last week and I didn’t practice much. I just prepared myself mentally for this week. I’m feeling very confident ahead of this week. I’m quite happy with my game. I played in the last five events and made four cuts. I think my game is back,” said Siddikur.
Siddikur will be among an elite cast at the Panasonic Open India who include two-time Asian Tour number one Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand, Marcus Both of Australia and Chikka S, who won on the Asian Development Tour (ADT) last week.
