Bhullar ends in Top-20, Ian Poulter wins HSBC
5 Nov 2012 6:54 AM IST
Gaganjeet Bhullar was unable to find his magic touch in the third round and signed off with an even-par 72, that still earned him a top-20 finish at the WGC-HSBC Champions.
He finished in a tie for 18th place and took home USD 75,000, which put alongside his top-10 at CIMB Classic last week, indicated that he is ready for the big league.
Poulter claimed a two-shot victory after overcoming an overnight four-shot deficit with a second successive seven-under 65.
Bhullar confessed that the key difference from winning at the highest level was simply self-belief. ‘I think it’s self-belief. It’s the only difference. Today and the past few weeks, I’ve been playing with the PGA Tour players and I’ve been pumping my three woods past their drivers. Obviously, length is not an issue but the mental belief.
If I play more and more in these events, one fine day, I’ll wake up with the self belief and win a Major.’
