"It's quite a long course but if you're a good driver of the ball and you hit it a fair way off from tee, then I think you're going to enjoy playing on the course," Jeev explained.

"I think the scoring that week is going to be quite low, unless the wind picks up and makes life a little tougher for us. But I'm sure all the guys are going to enjoy the tournament," he added. Jeev will be joined by several fellow Indians, including Challenge Tour champions Gaganjeet Bhullar and Shiv Kapur, two-time Asian Tour winner Anirbarn Lahiri and Chowrasia, who in addition to his Avantha Masters triumph in 2011 also won the 2008 EMAAR-MGF Indian Masters. Jeev feels the Avantha Masters is the perfect platform for India's emerging talent to enhance their burgeoning reputations. "It's very important that we have a European Tour event in India. The Avantha Masters is the only Tour event in India, so I'm really looking forward to it and I'm sure the other Indian players are too," he said. "Gaganjeet (Bhullar) is a fantastic prospect, as is (Anirbarn) Lahiri, Shiv (Kapur), SSP (Chowrasia) � all these guys have a lot of talent. "These guys are very hungry and they want to prove themselves, so I think the future is very bright for them. The world is there for the taking, so now it's up to them to seize their opportunities."
