Today, I hit the ball so good. It was quite surprising to see myself missing so many putts. Two more days, hopefully I\u2019ll start reading the greens a bit better. I\u2019m looking forward to shooting some low digits,\u201d said Bhullar, who won the Venetian Macau Open and Yeangder Tournament Players Championship in Taipei recently.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The supremely talented Indian, who was tied 10th in the co-sanctioned Asian Tour and PGA Tour event in Malaysia last week, went straight to the practice putting green to work on his lines on the \u201cpaspalum\u201d greens.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cThis kind of grass, we hardly play on them throughout the season. I guess the more you play on them this week, the better you become. That\u2019s the goal setting for me,\u201d said Bhullar.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cAfter playing 36 holes on these greens, I have a better idea for tomorrow\u2019s round. I\u2019m going back to work on my 10 to 12 footers. That\u2019s the goal tomorrow. If I put those in, I\u2019ll be right in it. The guys are going low, this is a WGC and we\u2019ve got the world\u2019s best players here. Guys are going low. You never know, just a few more good rounds and you\u2019ll be up there.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Countryman Singh shot four birdies but dropped a double bogey on 12 and another bogey on 15. \u201cI think it was a bad error on 12. I took a wrong club for my second shot. I came up short and tried to get greedy with my chip. I chipped and it came back and then chipped it past and two putted for a six,\u201d said Singh, winner of the Scottish Open in July.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cI putted better today. The scores are there to be taken. There are five par fives which are all reachable. You\u2019ve got to shoot four or five under every day. Shooting one under or even par puts you back behind the field. I\u2019m still making sure that I\u2019m getting better with my finger and I feel I need to sharpen up my short game. I\u2019m working towards that and hopefully it\u2019ll come around.\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>Dongguan: India\u2019s Gaganjeet Bhullar was unfazed after good shots were not rewarded after he signed for a four-under-par 68 in the second round of the US$7 million WGC-HSBC Champions on Friday. &nbsp;The in-form Asian Tour star, who has won twice in the past two months, moved up to tied 27th place at Mission Hills Golf [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[517,147,7085],"class_list":["post-11313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-latest","tag-gaganjeet-bhullar","tag-jeev-milkha-singh","tag-wgc-hsbc-champions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bhullar Fires 68 in 2nd round at WGC-HSBC Champions - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
