If you want a man guaranteed to play well in India then it's SSP Chowrasia. All of his 4 European tour victories have been here. There was a tremendous show of sportsmanship from his closest challenger Arinban Lahiri as he clapped SSP's approach to the 72nd which, from under the trees, was simply brilliant.
Not to be outdone at the Arnold Palmer invitational, Jason Day faced the toughest shot in golf, a 35 yard splash out from the bunker to leave 3 feet for the win. An impressive wire to wire victory for the Australian.
