Gaganjeet Bhullar -
"It’s amazing. I have no words to describe it, I’m totally speechless. When I woke up this morning, I just wanted to shoot a good number. I never ever thought I was going to shoot a 64 and win by one. It’s like a dream coming true. My first event of the year and winning at the start of the season will give me a lot of confidence."

“After 15 where I made a good curling putt, I told myself to make par on 16 and 17 and make birdie on 18. Everything happened the way I decided. On 18, it was amazing. I told myself that the putt was to win the tournament."

“It was a crucial one as I had missed the same putt last the two days from the nearly same line. I had a bit of an idea that it would come from the right. I just got lucky. I’m sure my confidence will go up a long way. I’m looking forward to next week (Avantha Masters). It’s a big event and I love the DLF course as I’ve won there twice (on the local circuit). Going back to play in front of the home crowd will give me a great sense of achievement."

"Last night, I was surfing the web and I clicked on asiantour.com and they had a poll “Who do you think will win the Asian Tour International” and my name was there. I clicked on my name and I had the highest votes. I told myself that it was a bit of a disappointment that I wouldn’t win as I had so many votes. But it shows that anything can happen in golf."

Rohan Bopanna -
“This win here is definitely going to help our confidence and our ranking so we will certainly play more [together] this year.”

“We started off a little tentatively. Obviously it was our third final together, which meant there was a little bit of tentativeness starting off. The rain delay helped. We spoke a little bit. We said 'We’re here to fight and win'. We came out and started winning by playing aggressive tennis, the way we do normally."
