The third player in the marquee group with the highest ranked Indian on the Asian Tour will be Barry Henson of the Philippines.

Most of the Indians in the fray have been given high-profile draws.

Anirban Lahiri plays with Mardan Mamat and Chinnarat Phadungsil, while SSP Chowrasia goes out with Lam chih Bing and Scott Barr. Shiv Kapur will play the first two days with Scott Hend and Chapchai Nirat.

The other Indians in the field are Himmat Rai, who has been drawn with Pariya Junhasavasdikul and Ajeetesh Sandhu will also tee off at the Macau Golf and Country Club here.

The Indians are also getting ready for their own Hero Indian Open next week to be held in Bangalore and most of them will also be there for the National Open.

"I have been playing well and it is just question of getting my rhythm. I am feeling good and I have had some good results, too," said Bhullar.

Anirban, recalling his first appearance here, said, "My first year on Tour in 2008, I played with David Gleeson in the leader group in the third day. I've got good and positive memories of playing here. It's a layout that is quite challenging but it suits my eye. I love coming back here. It's a lot of judgement and how you gauge the winds.

"It's a tricky golf course. I had a great rest last week. I caught up with my coach. I wasn't very happy with the way I was hitting it. It seems to be moving in the right direction. I was happy with my decision to not play last week and just worked on my game.

"I'm working on getting some consistency back into the game. I'm getting my good rounds but not following it up through four rounds. My focus is on scoring and finding more fairways and greens." (MORE)
