Elated at joining the small list of Indian golfers who have been
conferred with the Arjuna award, Gaganjeet Bhullar said the honour will
motivate him to perform better at the international events besides
inspiring youngsters to take up the game.
Bhullar became the 17th golfer and the eighth Professional Golf
Tour of India (PGTI) member to be conferred with the Arjuna Award, the
nation's second highest sporting honour.
"It is a very proud moment for me and my family. I would like to
thank the Government of India for acknowledging the fact that Indian
golfers are making the country proud with their performances at the
international level," Bhullar said.
"This is a result of the hard work I have put in over the years
and the strong support I have received from my family. This award will
not only motivate me to achieve greater things but will also encourage
many other young golfers in the country to work harder and succeed at
the highest level," he added.
PGTI members who have won the Arjuna Award in the past include
Ali Sher (1991), Amit Luthra (1996), Harmeet Kahlon (1997), Jeev Milkha
Singh (1999), Shiv Kapur (2002), Jyoti Randhawa (2004) and Arjun Atwal
