Gaganjeet Bhullar fought his way through tough condition to win his 3rd Asian Tour title by final three-under-par 69 round at the weather-shortened Yeangder Tournament Players Championship on Monday ... Gaganjeet ended 4 strokes ahead of 2nd place American Jason Knutzon and 14-time Asian Tour winner Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand to win this tournament with his 3 days total of 12-under-par 204 ... The Yeangder TPC was reduced to 54-stroke play tournament because of inclement weather.

Gaganjeet Bhullar - “I believe it was my fighting spirit as I told myself that I’ve got to win this tournament no matter what happens. I knew I was playing well and I played really well on the par-fives all week. I guess this whole week I was totally focused and I was in the zone and if I can repeat what I’ve been doing the last two rounds nobody can even touch me.“

“I’ve been in this position many times on the Asian Tour and after that it was my fighting spirit. I told myself that I had to make another birdie and it came on the 16th. The par saver and tournament saver would be the putt on the 14th. I also saved another par on the 15th which was really good. Those two putts gave me lots of confidence and I told myself that if I can hole these two, I can hole a long putt for a birdie and that was what exactly happened on the 16th.”
