New Delhi, Oct 30
A strong cast of Indian and international stars are set to tee off at the USD 400,000 Panasonic Open India from November 5-8 at the Delhi Golf Club here.
Two-time Asian Tour number one Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand will headline the elite field alongside former Order of Merit champion Jyoti Randhawa of India, Marcus Both of Australia and Thailand’s Prom Meesawat.
Indian stalwarts Gaganjeet Bhullar, a five-time Asian Tour winner, Rashid Khan, Chiragh Kumar, who finished tied second at the recent Venetian Macao Open, and Rahil Gangjee, who finished tied second here last year, will also feature in the popular Asian Tour event.
Gangjee and Mithun Perera of Sri Lanka were heart broken when they lost in a play-off to S S P Chawrasia of India last year but are determined to bounce back at the Panasonic Open India, which will celebrate its fifth edition.
The straight-shooting Perera has enjoyed a stellar season on the Asian Tour so far highlighted by a tied third result at the Hero Indian Open which was also played at the Delhi course earlier this season.(PTI)
