Shubhankar Sharma and Gaganjeet Bhullar will look to build on their 2018 successes when they spearhead Indian challenge at the Dubai Desert Classic starting Thursday.
Shubhankar, who was Asia No. 1 in 2018, will hope to turn his fortunes after last week, while Bhullar, who had claimed a breakthrough win on the European Tour at the Fiji International last year, will return to Dubai after a gap of five years hoping to improve on his creditable T-27 finish last week in Abu Dhabi.
Bhullar, who was once ranked 85th in the World, is also looking at getting back into the Top-100 zone. He is currently the second best Indian at 141, while Shubhankar Sharma is 123rd.
Anirban Lahiri, who is not playing this week on the PGA Tour, has slipped to 156.
Bhullar's only appearance in Dubai was in 2014, when he missed the cut and this could be his chance to rectify that.
"The game is good and I am looking forward to it. Last week was alright and let's see how it goes this week," said Bhullar. "It was nice to win my maiden European Tour event in Fiji last year. I need to build on it now."
"Anyway I am feeling confident. I worked on the game and physical fitness also as the season can get long towards the end."
"I have missed the cut last two times, but right I am feeling more confident. Hopefully I will be able to get putting right and it has been my strength."
