However, I\u2019ve been spending a lot of time working on my game back home and I feel that it\u2019s getting better now,\u201d said Chowrasia.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the earnings at the WGC-HSBC Champions do not count towards the Asian Tour Order of Merit this week, Chowrasia is determined to return to his winning ways as they will provide him with the confidence to cement his place at the summit.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal for the year is to finish on top of the Asian Tour Order of Merit so that I can get to play in all the Asian Tour events. I\u2019m aware of the pressure as many players will be aiming to overtake me. But that\u2019s alright. I\u2019ll just play my own game and hopefully it\u2019ll be good enough to seal top spot,\u201d said the Indian.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Bangladesh\u2019s Siddikur is delighted to be teeing off alongside the world\u2019s best players after narrowly missing out on a coveted place last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very happy to be playing in this tournament because I was the first reserve last year. This is my first time playing here and I\u2019m really excited,\u201d said Siddikur who wrote a slice of history when he became the first Bangladeshi to win an Asian Tour title in Brunei last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With four top-10s finishes on the Asian Tour along with a win at the Grameenphone Bangladesh Masters on the Asian Development Tour, Siddikur could potentially create an upset against a star-studded field that includes England\u2019s Lee Westwood and Northern Ireland\u2019s Rory McIlroy who are ranked the world\u2019s number two and three respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal each week is to try and achieve a better result than my last event. I swinging the ball well and overall I\u2019m very happy with my form. I\u2019ve been doing well so I\u2019ve got no complaints,\u201d said the Bangladeshi.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shanghai: <\/strong>India\u2019s S.S.P Chowrasia is hopeful that he can regain his winning form when the WGC-HSBC tees off at the Sheshan International Golf Club on Thursday.<\/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":[],"class_list":["post-569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-latest"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chowrasia eyes WGC-HSBC Champions - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
