If you thought India's ace golfer SSP Chawrasia is still  basking in the glory of his Arjuna Award, you can take a break. Not the one to rest on his laurels, the ace golfer is all geared up for his next challenge. 

 

Chawrasia will continue his chase for a first title on European soil at the Omega European Masters, which gets underway on Thursday.

                                                 Chawrasia, however, has never win on European soil in his 20-year career


 
The 39-year-old Chawrasia, who was recently awarded the prestigious Arjuna award back home, has won six times on the Asian Tour and out of which, four were events co-sanctioned with the European Tour in India.


 
Chawrasia, however, has never win on European soil in his 20-year career. He will take aim at the title when he steps up to the tee for the €2.7 million (approximately US$3.25 million) event held at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.


 
Placed second on the Order of Merit, Chawrasia will also attempt to chase down leader David Lipsky of the United States on the money list with a strong showing in the Swiss showpiece, which remains as the only tournament on European soil to be co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour.


 
Reigning Order of Merit champion Scott Hend of Australia will be seeking redemption when he tees off for his eighth appearance at the Omega European Masters this week.


 
The 44-year-old Hend battled into a play-off with Alex Noren last year but settled for a runner-up finish after the Swede defeated him with a birdie against a par on the first play-off hole.
 
Despite playing the course for the first time in his career, Chinese Taipei’s Lu Wei-chih hopes to turn the corner by taking advantage of his feel-good vibes to cap a good showing on the mountains. He has only made two cuts in eight starts on the Asian Tour so far this season.
