Udayan Mane said, “I’m excited about playing the Gujarat Open 2022 as it’s always a treat to play in Kalhaar, one of the top championship venues in India. I play at Kalhaar quite regularly and it is almost like a home course for me. I’ve also won at this venue in the past and that adds to my confidence this week. It’s a course where the approach shots demand a lot of precision. I would like to carry forward the momentum from last year’s Order of Merit win.”
