Just trying to get my short game going. I\u2019ve changed my putter last three weeks three times. I\u2019ll just have to make sure I\u2019ve got the right one. I\u2019ve got to work on it mentally and build up on the trust,\u201d said Singh, who won the Scottish Open in July.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Singh has tried the longer putters but did not feel comfortable enough with it to keep it in his golf bag. \u201cI\u2019ve not gone to the long putter. I\u2019m much better off with this putter and feel more comfortable. I can\u2019t get the feel with the long one,\u201d he said.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cI\u2019m going back to putting green \u2026 I\u2019ve been working quite hard. It\u2019s just about the trust.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The positive aspect for the widely-travelled Singh is his ball striking has remained solid. \u201cI\u2019m pretty happy with the game. Hopefully, I get it right on one of these weeks (with the putter). Otherwise, hitting the ball well and everything else is good. Just need to sharpen the short game.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cThere is a score out there and the par fives are reachable. There are some good flags out there and the winds are swirling. It\u2019s a good test of golf. I\u2019ve been pretty solid. Most of the rounds, I\u2019ve been under par. I just need a low one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without his regular caddie, Janet Squire, on the bag, Singh kept burning the edges of the cup to end the day seven shots back of co-leaders Louis Oosthuizen and Adam Scott. But he remains patient and reckons the birdies will soon drop.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cIt all comes down to the short stick. I\u2019m hitting the ball well enough to do that,\u201d said Singh.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Countryman <a href=\"search.html?cx=partner-pub-2004395898380537%3A5221044443&amp;cof=FORID%3A10&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=Gaganjeet+Bhullar&amp;sa=Search&amp;siteurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiansportsnews.com%2F\">Gaganjeet Bhullar<\/a>, who did not have the privilege of playing a practice round due to his late arrive for the HSBC Champions, struggled to a 73. Like Singh, he failed to convert several birdie opportunities.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cI struggled a bit with my putting. Maybe I wasn\u2019t comfortable reading the lines. I struck the ball good, hit all fairways. I guess today was my first official round on the golf course. At least I have seen where to place the ball and hopefully tomorrow will be better,\u201d said Bhullar, who finished tied 10th in the co-sanctioned Asian Tour and PGA Tour event in Malaysia last week.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cOn the greens here, you can\u2019t miss on the wrong side of the hole and I struggled with that. Tomorrow, I\u2019ll need to work on that.\u201d<\/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 decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 6px;
