Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston is looking to rebound from what he considered a disappointing outing at the NBO Oman Open last week.
Being four strokes off the lead through 54 holes, a 72 posted on the final day of the tournament has prompted Johnston to look ahead to this week’s Indian Open to get back in form.
The 29-year-old Middlesex-native arrives at the DLF Golf and Country Club in Delhi ranked 50th on the European Tour.
With one previous European Tour win under his belt (achieved at the Open de Espana in 2016), Johnston is hoping his encouraging start to the season can see him emulate that success.
My target is definitely to try to win again,
Obviously, I want to be in the top 60 to play in the final Race to Dubai tournaments, but really, the aim is to get another win on the board. I played well at the start of the year so I’ve just got to keep that going and keep working hard.
However, Johnston wasn’t switched off to the frustration of the last few weeks.
It’s been a bit of a frustrating couple of weeks. I had a lesson the first week I was home from Oman, and I was trying to gear up to practice last week so I haven’t really done too much with the snow.
I’ve spent a bit of time in the gym, so I’ve been looking forward to getting back out, getting some practice done in the sun this afternoon and tomorrow morning to get ready for this week. What I’ve heard about the course is that it’s difficult. And especially in the wind.
