New Delhi: Young Indian golfer Rashid Khan will draw
on the familiarity factor at the Delhi Golf Club when he chases a third
Asian Tour victory at the Panasonic Open India to be played from
November 5-8.
The 24-year-old is looking forward to a return to
his home course, the venue where he learnt to play the game and tasted
his first Asian Tour victory last year.

Rashid
will be part of a strong line-up of local stars who will feature in the
Panasonic Open including Gaganjeet Bhullar, Rahil Gangjee, Himmat Rai,
former Asian Tour number one Jyoti Randhawa and Chiragh Kumar.
"I
know the Delhi course very well. Everyone knows that if you can find the
fairway, you will have a chance to score. I know the course so well
that even if I have a 20-footer for birdie, I know the line and I’m
confident that I can hole it," Rashid said in an Asian Tour release on
Friday.
He finished tied third at the Mercuries Taiwan Masters a
fortnight ago but admitted he is running low on confidence as he has yet
to taste victory this year. Last season, Rashid enjoyed two victories
on the Asian Tour.
"My confidence is a little down at the moment
because there are times when I play well but I just can’t score. That’s
been the story of my game this year. I need to work more on my irons and
gain some confidence.
“It is very important to gain confidence
ahead of the Panasonic Open India. If I do well there, it will give me
good momentum towards the end of the Asian Tour season,” said Khan.
He
has a stellar track record at the DGC with one win and a runner-up
finish. Last year’s tied 10th result at the Panasonic Open India was a
significant one for him as he went on to win in Chiangmai for his second
Asian Tour title.
“Last year I finished in 10th place at the
Panasonic Open India despite struggling with my game. After the result, I
went on to win in Chiangmai for my first victory outside of India,”
Khan smiled.
“That’s why I’m really looking forward to playing at
the Panasonic Open India. The Delhi course will be in great condition
when the tournament starts. They are preparing the course now and the
players will enjoy their time,” he said.

René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his 1819 treatise on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...
For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...
