Baisoya looks to turn the tables on Bhullar as IGPL heads to Hyderabad

Hyderabad, Nov 10 (PTI) Sachin Baisoya will have an opportunity to get back at Gaganjeet Bhullar when the Phoenix Invitational 2026 gets underway here on Wednesday.

    There is unfinished business between them as Baisoya took the runaway leader Bhullar all the way to the play-off at the Green Fuels Maritime Invitational in Visakhapatnam.

    If Bhullar’s week was built around his shortened second round of 6-under, Baisoya’s challenge on the final day, which was again shortened because of rain, came on the back of a remarkable seven-under round.

    That erased the six-shot advantage of Bhullar and sent the clash into a play-off.

    Bhullar eventually prevailed with a 40-foot putt on the extra hole, but Baisoya had made it clear that the gap between the two was not as wide as the final result suggested.

    For Baisoya and his Phoenix Hyderabad teammates, Ranjit Singh, Raghav Chugh and Arjun Bhati, it is a chance to showcase their team in the main event and in the X-golf, an innovative new competition.

    Bhullar arrives with a formidable recent record. His victory at the Krishna Invitational in Hyderabad in October was followed by the Vizag triumph.
