Kapur is going into the tournament high on confidence after winning title in Dubai, where he earned playing rights in Europe for next season.
Kapur will be joined by an elite field at the USD 1.25 million Asian Tour event which include Arjun Atwal, the Asian Tour number one in 2003, PGA Tour winners Daniel Chopra of Sweden and Michael Thompson of the United States and David Gleeson of Australia, the 2011 Hero Indian Open champion. Randhawa, Siddikur, the first Bangladeshi to play and win on the Asian Tour, Angelo Que of the Philippines, Pariya Junhasavasdikul of Thailand and SSP Chowrasia of India, all multiple Asian Tour winners, will also feature in the prestigious event. Fresh from a satisfying but mentally exhausting win in Dubai, Kapur is determined to win Indian Open.
‘Every year I sit here and keeping telling all of you that it is always my dream to win the Indian Open. It is the fifth Major for all of us and I would love to win it, more so because it is held at the Delhi Golf Club,’ said the 31-year-old Kapur.
‘Obviously the Indian Open being in its 50th year makes it more special. The fact that I’m coming into this week with a little bit of form will help my chances.’
