“This win is a huge morale-booster since it is my first of the season and also my first at the DLF Golf & Country Club. It feels great to register an emphatic eight-stroke win in such challenging conditions. I now lead the Rolex Rankings and will strive to maintain my position at the top till the end of the season.”
