It was a shame because I was playing so well. I got so weak that I had to change my driver to try and get the ball going,\u201d said the three-time Asian Tour winner.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cBut I\u2019ve regained my health now and my game is slowly coming back and I\u2019m getting the distances I want. That\u2019s the part of getting older and trying to be healthier and sustaining a Tour life,\u201d added Gleeson.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The Hero Indian Open will move to the Karnataka Golf Association in Bengaluru for the first time in the tournament\u2019s illustrious history and Gleeson is looking forward to the new challenge.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cWhenever you go back to a tournament which you\u2019ve won before, there\u2019s always a good vibe and feeling. I heard the golf course is good and I\u2019m going to a new city and that\u2019s always good fun,\u201d he said.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Gleeson, who is also known for his musical talent, romped to a three-shot victory over local hope Chiragh Kumar last year and is determined to find his winning groove again.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cIt is always great to have the ball in your control. I was in a good frame of mind that week and the ball went reasonably where I wanted it to go. It was one of those weeks where a lot of things were going my way,\u201d he smiled.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cIt is always more motivation when you defend a title. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any more pressure than we give ourselves any other week. Possibly there will be more attention given to me compared to other weeks but that\u2019s a good thing,\u201d added the 34-year-old.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Anirban Lahiri, who hails from Bengaluru, Gaganjeet Bhullar, Himmat Rai, S.S.P. Chowrasia and Jyoti Randhawa, all Asian Tour winners, will lead the local challenge at the Hero Indian Open.<\/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-right: 6px;
