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.

I have made these Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies at least 20 times now. Not exaggerating. I first made these when we were in the Philippines, when it was a struggle to just keep butter solid for 2 seconds on the counter, and they were absolutely incredible. I had no idea how or why, but they just WORKED. And they blew my mind in the way only a perfect chocolate chip cookie really can. But then every once in a while, they didn’t work. I’m not always super exact with my baking, but still. They were not thick and chewy and buttery like the perfect cookie should be. Some of your comments said the same things – most of the time they worked, but sometimes they didn’t. And I don’t like that. Now I’m back home in dry, cool Minnesota and I have been waiting for this day just so I could figure out what would really make these cookies awesome for you. You who live in normal climates and shop at Cub Foods. I am now speaking your cookie-baking language. Since I’m re...
