He is now on the hunt for a unique double at the US$600,000 Asian Tour event starting Thursday.<br \/>\n<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lu, who lives five minutes from the Taiwan Golf and Country Club, continues his rehabilitation and will not defend his title this week.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Local hero Lin Wen-tang, winner of the event in 2009, Chan Yih-shin, a two-time Asian Tour champion, Prom Meesawat of Thailand, currently seventh on the Order of Merit and highly rated newcomer David Lipsky of the United States will also feature in the Asian Tour event.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bhullar met Lu during a dinner in Chinese Taipei recently and was delighted to see the three-time Asian Tour winner on the road to recovery.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt so happened we were having dinner at a good Tenpayaki place and he was there with his family. He is walking and talking to everybody and seems to be recovering really fast. We have so many good memories with Lu. He is such a good player and I think any winner this week will definitely dedicate this win to him,\u201d said the Bhullar.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bhullar is excited of making his debut appearance at the Mercuries Taiwan Masters. \u201cI\u2019ve been on the Asian Tour for many years but I\u2019ve never had the opportunity to play here. I like the challenges because the wind will be a huge factor and this course demands a sharp short game.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lin and Chan, who have a combined total of seven Asian Tour victories, will lead the local challenge in the absence of Lu. The ever-smiling Chan hopes to overcome an uncharacteristic 10-stretch run of missed cuts on the Asian Tour this week.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been feeling tired and it doesn\u2019t help my game. I can shoot a low number on day one and blow up in the next. It has been frustrating but it is always nice to play at home. It gives you motivation to play better. I don\u2019t have a goal for this tournament yet. I just want to try and make the cut and see where the weekend round takes me,\u201d said Chan, who finished tied fourth at the 2010 Mercuries Taiwan Masters.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lipsky, winner of the HANDA FALDO Cambodian Classic in March, is playing in his fifth straight week on the Asian Tour and is inspired by Luke Donald\u2019s advice on Twitter where the Ryder Cup star wrote, \u201cGrind it out Lipper and enjoy every minute of it.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not like best friends but we went to the same school and had the same college coach. I\u2019ve played with him numerous times. We have a really friendly relationship,\u201d said Lipsky on his relationship with Donald, who will represent Team Europe in this week\u2019s Ryder Cup.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He admits it will be difficult to win a second Asian Tour title this week. \u201cThis week might be tough to win. Everyone is going to have the same tough and windy conditions but I\u2019m looking forward to it. I\u2019ve had spurts of good golf and I\u2019m waiting to string together four good rounds.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pariya Junhasavasdikul of Thailand is not dismissing his chances of repeating his success at the Mercuries Taiwan Masters in 2010 despite struggling with his swing.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have some swing issues. I know I\u2019m taking the swing from the inside and losing my spine angle. I know what I\u2019m doing wrong but I don\u2019t know how to fix it. I\u2019m quite mixed up with the swing. My coach hasn\u2019t been available for me so it is time for some changes,\u201d said the licensed pilot.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe winning memory has faded but I was on the 18 green and trying to bring back all the memories. I still have a good feeling in this event. I\u2019m not playing that great but the wind will pick up and it will be a fair game for everybody. I might have a good chance,\u201d said Pariya.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 6px; float: left;\" src=\"images\/golf\/00-gaganjeet-playing.jpg\" alt=\"Bhullar eying unique \u2018double\u2019 at Mercuries Taiwan Masters\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" \/>Taipei<\/strong>: Indian stalwart Gaganjeet Bhullar is planning another winning tribute at the <a href=\"search.html?cx=partner-pub-2004395898380537%3A5221044443&amp;cof=FORID%3A10&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=Mercuries+Taiwan+Masters+&amp;sa=Search&amp;siteurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiansportsnews.com%2F\">Mercuries Taiwan Masters <\/a>for title holder Lu Wei-chih of Chinese Taipei, who is still recovering from a brain surgery to remove a tumour.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"search.html?cx=partner-pub-2004395898380537%3A5221044443&amp;cof=FORID%3A10&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=Gaganjeet+Bhullar+&amp;sa=Search\">Bhullar <\/a>won his third <a href=\"search.html?cx=partner-pub-2004395898380537%3A5221044443&amp;cof=FORID%3A10&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=Asian+Tour+&amp;sa=Search&amp;siteurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiansportsnews.com%2F\">Asian Tour <\/a>title in Chinese Taipei two weeks ago and dedicated the win to Lu.
