Bhullar, who looked impressive in the first two rounds at the BMW International Open, will look to make the most of this opportunity. Shubhankar on the other hand will have a chance to again earn a direct entry to the Open Championship, something he did in 2018 by winning the Joburg Open.

The field is filled with quality players, none more illustrious than 15—time European Tour winner and defending champion Sergio Garcia.

A host of other golf stars, including five—time European Tour winner Matthew Fitzpatrick who lost the BMW International Open by a single stroke, will be keen to win this tournament.

The event will be broadcast live on DSPORT from June 27—30 from 3:30 p.m. onwards.
