Randhawa aims to swing back to form

After an uncharacteristically quiet 2011 season,where his best finish was a tied fifth place at the same tournament,Randhawa opted to revert to his old swing at the season-ending Thailand Golf Championship and was immediately rewarded with a 13th place result.

“I changed a few things with my swing which I didn’t need to previously. I have gone back to my old swing,made a few adjustments. I need to swing the way I swung under pressure. I need to take that to the golf course,” said Randhawa.

“Under pressure,whatever I need to do,I can do it now with the old swing. I know what I need to do to play well. I’ve got that back now and just need to keep doing it,” said the 39-year-old.

The DGC is also a favourite hunting ground for Randhawa as he won back-to-back Indian Open titles in 2006 and 2007. With a new generation of Indian stars taking centre stage in golf,Randhawa will be hoping to rediscover some of his old magic and end a three-year title drought on the Asian Tour. Title holder Anirban Lahiri,Prayad Marksaeng of Thailand and Korean-American Anthony Kang,who have won a combined total of 11 Asian Tour titles,will also headline the US$300,000 staged from March 29 to April 1.

Thai legend Thaworn Wiratchant,also a former Asian Tour number one,Ben Fox of the United States and Angelo Que of the Philippines will also feature in the event sanctioned by the Asian Tour and PGTI.
