Bhullar up to 4th in Order of Merit

New Delhi: Gaganjeet Bhullar’s a fifth Asian Tour victory at the Indonesia Open on Sunday has carried him into fourth place on the latest Asian Tour’s Order of Merit with earnings of $462,378.

Still only 25, Bhullar produced a measured performance in Jakarta to win his first tournament of the season which pushed him past countryman Anirban Lahiri (5th) and the rest of the pack that has five Indians in the top 20.

Also, with the top four at the end of the 2013 season qualifying for Team Asia to face Europe in the Ryder Cup-styled EurAsia Cup at

the Glenmarie Golf and Country Club in Malaysia, the supremely talented Bhullar is poised to make the team on his own merit.

“I wasn’t feeling confident with my game coming to this week actually. I haven’t had much success but I know my game was up there and winning is just a matter of time” said Bhullar.

“I waited long for my fifth win and this is my 11th consecutive event and mentally, I was exhausted,” he added.
