India’s top-ranked golfer Yuvraj Sandhu says he is “hungrier than ever” after earning a full-season card on the DP World Tour and has set himself the target of winning a major championship in the next two to three years.

Sandhu clinched an unprecedented seven titles last year during a record-breaking domestic season and topped the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) Order of Merit.

“I’m just a little hungrier than ever before. Now that I’ve tasted the European tour, I feel like this is exactly where professional golf is... it’s literally where you want to be,” Sandhu told PTI.

“So I’m just going to stick to the process, work hard and let’s see if I can win a major next year. That’ll be golden. But I definitely see myself winning a major in the coming two or three years,” he added.

The 29-year-old from Chandigarh said his confidence comes from exposure to European conditions, including the US Open qualifier at Walton Heath.

“I’ve already competed in European and UK conditions. I did play the US Open qualifier in Walton Heath. On the World Tour, I went out there with my ears and eyes wide open, very receptive to the change,” he said.

Sandhu is part of India’s six-member golf team for the Asian Games, scheduled to be held from September 19 to October 4 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. Sandhu, Veer Ahlawat and Saptak Talwar make up the men’s team, while Aditi Ashok, Diksha Dagar and Pranavi Urs comprise the women’s squad.

“It’s been a dream to compete at the Asian Games and representing the tri-colour. Coming from an army background, seeing my dad wearing the uniform and serving the nation, I think the nation’s pride, it’s just something that comes to me,” Sandhu said.

Sandhu also credited improvements in his long game and wedge play for his progress.
