Chowrasia hopes to get back to winnings ways at Avantha Masters

India Gazette (IANS) Wednesday 15th February, 2012

Indian golfer and defending champion S.S.P. Chowrasia believes he is capable of pulling off a hat-trick of wins on home soil when the Avantha Masters tees off at the DLF Golf and Country Club here Thursday.

Chowrasia has shown his knack for winning at home with his two Asian Tour victories coming on Indian soil and welcomes the challenge from an elite field that includes two-time Major winner John Daly of the United States, 2004 British Open winner Todd Hamilton of the United States, 2010 Avantha Masters winner Andrew Dodt of Australia and China's Liang Wen-chong.

Since winning his second Asian Tour title here last year, Chowrasia's winning form has deserted him with the 33-year-old failing to make the cut in several of the events he played after that.

However, with the new season getting underway, Chowrasia is confident of getting back to winning ways.

"I am beginning to get my swing back and I am happy with how my game's shaping up," said Chowrasia.

"Everyone wants to get their season off to a great start and I am no different. I started the season with an early win last year and I believe that I can do the same again this week," added the Indian of his title ambitions at the tournament, which holds a significant place on the Asian Tour Schedule and is the richest in India, thanks to its $2.
