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.
This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...
The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
