    After third-place finish in Bengaluru Open, Aadil Bedi eyes Asian Tour Q-School File Photo

    Bedi, who had competed in four PGTI tournaments before turning professional in September this year, played in Panasonic Open apart from Jeev Milkha Singh Invitational on the PGTI circuit as a professional.

    Last week, when Chandigarh golfer 17-year-old Aadil Bedi finished third in PGTI’s Bengaluru Open, it was his best in his professional career.

    The youngster has only played in three tournaments on the PGTI circuit after turning professional early this year and last week’s third-place finish also meant that the Chandigarh golfer pocketed his first earnings on the circuit as a professional golfer.

    Bedi finished with an overall score of 15-under-273 and took home a cheque of Rs 3,75,900 and terms the Bengaluru performance as a morale booster ahead of the Asian Tour Q-School.

    “Finishing third in my third tournament after turning professional will give me a lot of confidence.

    I played in PGM Maybank ADT Championship in Malyasia before playing in Bengaluru.

    The tied 12th place in Malaysia boosted my confidence ahead of the Bengaluru Open.

    With rains in Bengaluru before the tournament, the conditions were challenging with the greens being soft.

    I was second after the second round and I guess my driving and putting helped me finish with a top-five finish.

    Talking with players like Rashid Khan, Mukesh Kumar and winner Anura Rohana also helped my game and gave me confidence.

    ” shared Bedi, who is a student of Vivek High School, Chandigarh.
