The dream boy of Bangladesh Golf will be seen once again playing his second Asian Development Tour in the current calendar year at home ground as the ‘BTI Open 2018 gets underway on 24th April 2018 at the Kurmitola Golf Club. It could be a good rehearsal for the professional golfers of Bangladesh before the full pledged Asian Tour scheduled in KGC from 09 -12 April .
BPGA is organizing this tri-sanctioned event of ADT(Asian Development Tour), Professional Golf Tour (PGTI), India and Bangladesh Professional Golfers Association(BPGA) for the second time in this calendar year . Asian development tour(ADT) is the feeder circuit for the Asian Tour that has been an exciting playing platform for the emerging golfers from across Asia and around the world.
In other hand ,the PGTI is now an ‘Open Tour’ aligning themselves with the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) has emerged as one of the source of top Asian players like Shubhankar Sharma, Anirban Lahiri, Shiv Kapur, GAGANJEET BHULLA, Ajeetesh Sandhu, SSP Chawrasia , Arjun Atwal, Jyoti Randhawa, Gaurav Ghei, Jeev Milkha Singh etc
The 32-year-old golfer from Bangladesh talked to Golf Bangladesh about two incoming important golfing events . He said “I start every tournament with the target of winning. So my target will be the same next week. The Kurmitolla golf course looks in beautiful condition and it will challenging as always. It will be quite windy during the period . I think the officials of BPGA and BGF should endeavor to keep the hole 03 to par 05 making the course par 72 . As our local golfers are habituated to that ”.
The lone brand ambassador of Bangladesh golf will be challenged by the rising stars of ADT and PGTI . Mr Udayan Mane from India ,Taranga from Sri Lanka and the leading professionals of ADT Mr John Catlin (USA), Pannakorn Uthaipas (Tha), and Shohei Hasegawa (Jpn) will be in the contention of winning race.
