Asian Tour: brilliant Bhullar makes it hat-trick of wins at Indonesia Open, as Hong Kong’s Taichi Kho finishes 11th
- Gaganjeet Bhullar ‘riding high on confidence’ as he cards a bogey-free 7-under-par 65
- Overnight leader Rashid Khan ties for 2nd, while Kho fades after starting the day 2 shots off the lead
Gaganjeet Bhullar produced one of the finest performances of his career to win the Mandiri Indonesia Open for a record third time on Sunday.
The Indian golfer shot a bogey-free seven-under-par 65 in the final round to finish on 20 under overall, two strokes ahead of England’s Steve Lewton, who started the day in a tie for 13th and finished it tied for second after his eight-under 64.
The only amateur golfer in the field to finish anywhere near the top, Kho reached the turn of his final round at two under, following birdies at holes seven and nine, but then gave shots back after the turn.
A birdie at the par-four 14th was sandwiched in between bogeys at 13 and 15, and the Hongkonger parred the closing holes to finish seven shots off the pace.
Overnight leader Rashid Khan could only manage a 68 and finished alongside Lewton, as Bhullar holed some brilliant putts and crucial par saves to secure his 10th win on the Asian Tour and first since 2018.
