Ahlawat, who was one of the best-performing Indians in the tournament, ended tied-17th alongside Gaganjeet Bhullar and Om Prakash Chouhan.

“My game was pretty average, and I didn’t play my best game. My ball striking was a bit off, but still, I managed to finish in the top-20, that’s a good part. But I need to work on my game to be up there competing for the title,” Ahlawat said.

“My main focus is to play my best game without thinking much about the result. I am not worried about getting a lot of top-five finishes, I just want to showcase my best potential,” he added.

Establishing a professional golf league in India has been a topic of discussion in the recent months.

Ahlawat believes that introducing such a format would significantly help the sport grow in India, providing professional golfers with more opportunities and financial incentives. “I think such a league will be great for Indian golf. It will be fun, and it will be a completely different format. There will be more prize money for the pros to grab, so it will be nice,” Ahlawat said.
