Bhullar arrived in Mauritius on Tuesday and said, \u201cI just reached (Mauritius) today. I'm going to play a practice round tomorrow.\u2029But having said that, you know, I did play an event here some years ago. It\u2019s a beautiful golf course. I think it's a great achievement for IGPL to come all the way to Mauritius. It\u2019s a beautiful place, it's such a great experience for so many youngsters, who have not played so many tournaments outside India to come here.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt is a great course, you know, where there's so much of wind, it's a tough golf course and it is a European Tour destination. So, I think overall it's going to be a great week. I'm really looking forward to playing well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bhullar, who previously competed here when it was co-sanctioned by the Asian and European Tours, now looks forward to this week\u2019s event and aims to add it to his achievements successes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
