Singapore: Karandeep Kochhar described the conditions at Serapong Course in Sentosa Golf Club as 'an oven' designed to sap every ounce of energy. The 7,411-yard course will test the driving strength of the 144-strong field.
Kochhar, who has worked on his swing with longtime coach Jesse Grewal, is on a hot streak after finishing fifth on the Asian Development Tour Order of Merit to regain his playing rights.
He expressed his disappointment about missing the national open Hero India Open due to his allegiance with IGPL and hopes for a consensus where the best players can play for the country.
Rahul Singh, Head of International Series, agreed that some of the best Indian players were not represented at the Indian Open and hopes that it will get the best Indian players alongside the best global talent in the future.
