Whether or not he sets the personal benchmark at the Jammu Tawi Golf Course will be known, but a top-10 will surely stoke the fire reignited by idol Gaganjeet Bhullar.

His ranking plunged and so did the motivation to compete. Amrit quit a month ago, and is back to his first love. He missed the season’s restart last month, but it was for a reason.
