Gurgaon: Yearning to be back in the winners'
circle again, Orlando-based Indian golfer Arjun Atwal has set
his eyes on this week's Avantha Masters to begin the journey.
The strapping 36-year-old golfer said the
career-threatening shoulder injury is now behind him and he
was out to recapture his old form in the event which is a part
of the Asian and European Tours and is also co-sanctioned by
the PGTI Tour.
"I am looking forward to playing more this year since I
have now fully recovered from my shoulder injury," Atwal said.
"Unfortunately I got injured just when I was getting into
rhythm last year. I did not have much of a season from there
on. But I want to make up for it now.
"The challenge for me now is to get back into contention
again," said Atwal, who won the Asian Tour event Hero Honda
Masters here in 2003.
"I have been in the process of trying to change my swing
since last season, so just want to concentrate on that aspect
for the time being and as such have not set any targets for
myself," he said.
"It's a very competitive field this week and I'm all
keyed up to give it my best shot as I really like the layout
of this course," said the former Asia number one.
