New Delhi, September 23: Looking back at the inaugural Xerox Open Golf Championship, I must confess that there were certain plusses and minuses that came out of the tournament.

Among the things that disappointed me was the performance of some our Indian Tour regulars. Barring Vijay Kumar, who shot an aweful round of five-over 77 on the first day, but then bounced back over the next three days, none could cope with the Classic Golf Resort.

The CGR was set up in international style. The rough was thick and I think the players were a little uncomfortable with the tuft of grass on the fringe of the greens. However, they will have to get used to such courses if they plan to broaden their horizons to Asian PGA Tour and further. This must have been a good test for them considering that this year’s Hero Honda Masters is to be played at the Arnold Palmer-designed DLF Golf & Country Club. I am sure that our players will be richer in experience after playing the Xerox Open. (Tiger Sports Marketing)
