Gaganjeet Bhullar, an accomplished golfer with multiple wins on the Asian Tour and IGPL, positioned himself well for his first International Series title by shooting a 3-under 68 to reach Tied-third place after two rounds. Among his Indian counterparts, Pukhraj Gill and Karandeep Kochhar also made the cut, while others like Jeev Milkha Singh faced setbacks.
Bhullar’s strong finish, marked by two birdies in the final three holes, propelled him up the leaderboard despite a couple of late bogeys. With a total score of 10-under, he trails the leader, Korea’s Jeongwoo Ham, by three strokes. Reflecting on his performance, Bhullar expressed satisfaction with his current standing and aims to maintain his routine and focus going forward.
Jeongwoo Ham emerged as the surprise leader at the Singapore Open, holding a two-shot advantage over Jazz Janewattananond. Bhullar, along with Japan’s Tomohiro Ishizaka, shares the third spot after consistent play in the tournament. Ham, relatively new to the Asian Tour, showcased his skills with a solid performance, building on his past successes in Korea.
Ham’s steady play, highlighted by four birdies, solidified his lead as other contenders faltered. Despite his lack of Asian Tour victories, Ham’s previous triumphs on the Korean PGA Tour attest to his competitive prowess. The tournament at Sentosa Golf Club promises an exciting weekend of golf with top players vying for the title.
