Gaganjeet Bhullar

Gaganjeet picked up golf at the age of four from his father H.S Bhullar. Grew up at Kapurthala Golf Club, in a city located north of India. Enjoys listening to Indian hip-hop and jazz music.
Big-hitting Gaganjeet enjoyed a dramatic but nervous finish during the end of the season to seal his full card on the Asian Tour for 2009. In the penultimate event, the Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open, the young Indian fired a final round 64 to finish tied 11th and pipped Adam Groom to the 65th spot on the Order of Merit, the final place for a full card by a mere US$681. He also enjoyed a tied fifth finish at the SAIL Open in India and was a model of consistency towards the end of the year with only one missed cut in 10 events. In 2009, Gaganjeet continued to show his promise as a rising star by notching three straight top-10s. He was joint 10th at the Singha Thailand Open, tied second in the SAIL Open in India and shared fifth place at the Black Mountain Masters in Thailand. He sweetened his year by qualifying for his maiden major at the British Open when he finished in the top-four of the International Final Qualifying in Singapore. After a fairly successful amateur career, Gaganjeet enjoyed a good rookie season on the Asian Tour in 2007. He had a golden chance to win the inaugural Pertamina Indonesia President Invitational but was pipped to the title by one shot when Filipino Juvic Pagunsan produced a stunning birdie-eagle finish to triumph. Still, the performance served as a sign of more to come from the young Indian, who missed only one cut in nine tournaments. He was India's number one amateur in 2004 and 2006 and claimed a silver medal in the team event at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha. He also won the World Junior Masters Championship in 2005.
