Bhullar wins in Indonesia

Jakarta: Gaganjeet Bhullar of India won the US$300,000 Indonesia Open for the second time in his career after closing with a four-under-par 68 yesterday.

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.

He returned to finish his remaining three holes yesterday morning as play was abandoned due to bad weather on Sunday.

Jeev Milkha Singh of India, a two-time Asian Tour No.1, threatened briefly before settling for tied second place, his best result since 2012, after making bogey on the 17th hole to finish on 72.

Thailand's Danthai Boonma (67), Panuphol Pittayarat (68) and rookie Johannes Veerman (69) of the US took a share of second alongside Singh on 275.

With his win at the Indonesia Open, Bhullar is now the fifth player after Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand, Frank Nobilo of New Zealand, Frankie Minoza of the Philippines and Lu Hsi-chuen of Chinese Taipei to win the event twice.
