Siddikur returns to favourite course

Bangladesh's premier golfer Siddikur Rahman is hoping to take advantage of his terrific track record at the Delhi Golf Club as he aims for a third Asian Tour win at the Panasonic Open India, starting today.

The 30-year-old golfer has won once at the venerable Delhi course and finished runner-up on three occasions in the last five years. He has also secured eight other top-10 results, making him one of the top favourites to contend for the title. In fact the second of Siddikur's two Asian Tour victories came at this course in November 2013 in the Hero Indian Open.

However, despite his impeccable track record at the tree-lined Delhi course, Siddikur is slightly disappointed that he has not won more Asian Tour titles at the venue.

"I finished second so many times here and that could have been victories. I wish I won more at Delhi because this golf course suits my game. I have good confidence here and that's the key to playing well here," Siddikur told Asiantour.com.

Siddikur will be among an elite cast which include two-time Asian Tour number one Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand, Marcus Both of Australia and Chikka S of India. Siddikur will also have compatriot Jamal Hossain Mollah and Dulal Hossain competing in this 400,000-dollar event.
