Arjun Atwal, on the verge of turning 50, showed he can be a force to reckon with next year when he joins the Champions Tour by making the cut and finishing tied 61st at the US$ 3.7mn Barbasol Championship in Kentucky. The event was won by American Trey Mullinax with scores of 65-65-67-66 (25-under 263).
The 49-year-old Atwal gets a few invitations to play PGA Tour events under the Past Winners Category. Indian fans can expect good things from Atwal who has lived for many years in Orlando, Florida, when he makes his debut on the lucrative PGA Champions’ Tour as he continues to work on his fitness and form. Atwal is confident of his chances and could well become the first Indian to win on the Champions’ Tour also besides being the only Indian to win on the PGA Tour.
