Premier Bangladesh golfer Siddikur Rahman will tee-off in the Panasonic Indian Open at Delhi Golf Club this Thursday. Another Bangladeshi golfer Jamal Hossain Mollah will also participate in the $300,000 event that is sanctioned by Asian Tour and PGTI.
Siddik will be facing a tough time as local rising star Rashid Khan is expected to stand in the way of the former’s title aspirations. Rashid defeated Siddik in the play-off of the Sail-SBI Open last March.
The golf course, however, will be familiar to Siddik as he won the Hero Indian Open last year at this very venue, pipping Indian stars Anirban Lahiri and SSP Chowrasia into second place.
Apart from Rashid, the 131-strong field will also have defending champion Wade Ormsby of Australia, two-time Asia Tour number one Thaworn Wairatchant of Thailand, 2002 Order of Merit champion Jyoti Randhawa and two-time Asian Tour winner SSP Chowrasia.
