“This week is special too,” he says on the return to his home course this week at the Delhi-NCR Open. That he is in contention — three off the lead after Day 2 adds to the flavour.

Pushed into delving deeper in time and on that week in 2009, GP is clear on one aspect. “Unlike then, keeping errors to a minimum is definitely on the agenda now.”

Surely, where GP finds himself on the leaderboard, playing percentage golf will yield dividends.
