Gaganjeet Bhullar pips Jeev to win Indonesia Open

Gaganjeet Bhullar of India on Monday won the $300,000 BANK BRI-JCB Indonesia Open for the second time in his career after closing with a four-under-par 68.

Bhullar, who also won the event in 2013, sealed his seventh Asian Tour victory and a second title this season with a 16-under-par 272 total at the Pondok Indah Golf Course.

It is never easy in a Monday finish especially when you only have a two-shot lead. I slept at 7pm last night and woke up at 2am because there was so much adrenaline rush. I just couldn’t focus on anything.

I was not focussed on sleeping. I just could not divert my mind anywhere else apart from the last few holes. At the end of the day, I’m proud of myself and I’m glad I pulled it off, said Bhullar.

I was full of confidence from tee number one. I told myself that I will play aggressive golf and gave myself a lot of birdie chances. I putted really well and made single putts in the first seven holes,  he added.
