Other players from GMI stable playing this week are Bradley Dredge, David Lynn, Richard Bland and Gary Houston. This is a very big week for the likes of Richard and Gary as a good week here can change the shape of the remainder of the year, as the first re-rank is in approximately four weeks.

Randhawa and Tunnicliff excel in Malaysia
2009-02-19
Jyoti & Miles finish well in the Maybank Malaysian Open with a joint 2nd place finish.
Jyoti had gone into the week feeling confident as he felt the course setup suited his style of game. He showed great touch around the greens, getting up and down from some tricky spots on several occasions. What was also good to see, was the putts he made that had eluded him in recent weeks. Jyoti knows that he possesses the ability to compete at the highest level, with his ultimate goal of top 50 in the world by the end of the year a distinct possibility.
Jyoti said “I am very happy with my game currently, as I have been working on a lot of technical changes with my new coach Colin Brooks, and it is certainly starting to take shape.
Miles has had a slow start to his season but his four rounds under par, which included a sensational 63 on Saturday, have put him in position to push on and add to his two previous European Tour wins, and a place in the Dubai World Golf Championship.

The Jo'burg Open kicks off the 2009 European Tour this week
For a lot of the players this week the Jo'burg Open is their opening tournament for the 2009 season, with two very strong courses Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club, it is sure to be a tough four days ahead.
The Jo'burg Open is only one of two Tournaments on the 2009 European Tour Schedule to use multiple courses for a tournament, with The Alfred Dunhill Links using three St.Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns.
In 2007 and 2008 Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club's East Course measured 7,590 yards, making this course the longest in European Tour history. This has only been eclipsed by the South Course at Torrey Pines, the venue for the 2008 US Open Championship, so the longer hitters will certainly benefit from this, although straight hitting is needed, as there are some very tight spots through out the courses.
GMI has three players participating in the Jo'burg Open this week, Garry Houston, Richard Bland and Sam Little. Richard had a fantastic end to his season last year with seven top tens from June to October and can't wait to get started this week and carry on his form.
After Jo'burg we move onto the Middle East swing, Abu Dhabi, Qatar Masters and Dubai Desert Classic. With big prize funds up for grabs the top players will start to be more visible, and GMI will also have a much bigger presence. Peter Lawrie and Steve Webster had good finishes in last years Abu Dhabi Championship, so they will be hoping for the same start next week. It is sure to be a great month of golf, and let's hope that GMI's players have a strong start to the season.
GMI would like to wish all our players the best of luck for the 2009 season.

Jyoti Randhawa edges out Mukesh Kumar to retain the DLF Masters title
Jyoti Randhawa retains the DLF Masters title.
2008-09-21
Gurgaon, September 21, 2008: Jyoti Randhawa retained his DLF Masters crown when he edged out veteran Mukesh Kumar by one stroke at the DLF Golf & Country Club on Sunday. Randhawa shot a one under 71 in round four to total eight under 280 for the tournament. Mukesh Kumar, on the other hand produced a fabulous round of five under 67 to finish one stroke behind Randhawa at seven under 281.
Randhawa has now registered four wins out of four starts on the PGTI and has also climbed to 10th on the PGTI Order of Merit after taking home the winner's cheque of Rs. 12,93,200. Mukesh Kumar is the current leader on the PGTI Order of Merit as a result of his second place finish at the DLF Masters. He was third on the order of merit prior to the DLF Masters 2008.
Jyoti Randhawa (72, 68, 69, 71) recorded his first win since the 2007 Indian Open thanks to a solid final round of one under 71 at his home course. Randhawa began poorly with a double bogey on the second where he landed his tee shot in the left rough. He soon recovered by sinking a birdie on the third. The defending champion made another birdie on the ninth to make the turn at even par. He then made pars all the way till the 14th.
Mukesh Kumar in the meantime, had caught up with Randhawa as both had totals of seven under. Jyoti once again took the outright lead when he knocked down a birdie on the 15th. He slipped back into the joint lead with Mukesh for a brief period after dropping a bogey on the 17th and then sealed his win by making a 20 feet two-putt for birdie on the 18th.
Randhawa, elated after his long-awaited win said, "This win is of great significance for me because I have not been in the best of form recently. I think I was trying too hard to win in the early part of the tournament and that's why I was not at the top of my game. But today I felt great in the morning while practicing and knew that a solid performance was round the corner.
"Mukesh gave me a tough fight and I did get a little nervy towards the end. But all said and done I am glad that I came through. This win is a good return to form for me."
Randhawa added, "I always feel highly motivated when I am playing in India because people expect a lot from me. At DLF the home course advantage also weighed in my favour."
Mukesh Kumar (72, 72, 70, 67) ended a creditable second after shooting the day's best round. The four time winner on the PGTI in the 2007-08 season began his round with a birdie on the first. He then sank two more birdies on the sixth and seventh to make the turn at three under. Thereafter, back-to-back birdies on the 10th and 11th brought him on level terms with Randhawa at seven under.
Mukesh dropped back into second when he bogeyed the 12th. He then birdied the 15th to be the joint leader once again. The professional from Mhow parred the last three holes even as Randhawa shot ahead with two birdies and a bogey on his last four holes.
Mukesh said, "I played a good round today as I hit all the fairways. However, my putting let me down because I missed two three feet putts for birdie and a four feet putt for eagle on the sixth. I gave myself a number of chances but could not convert them. The biggest disappointment was my third shot on the 18th. I hit a chip shot from the left edge of the 18th green which went over the green. Had I hit that shot closer to the pin, I would have had a great birdie opportunity. A birdie at that stage would have put the pressure back on Randhawa."
Mukesh added, "Even though I lost out on the title, it feels great to be back on top in the PGTI Order of Merit."
Ashok Kumar (72, 73, 70, 68) capped his week with a brilliant 68 to finish third at five under 283. Ashok sank two eagles and four birdies while he dropped strokes with two bogeys and a double bogey.
Gaganjeet Bhullar (67, 72, 72, 75) and Shamim Khan (72, 70, 69, 75) were both tied fourth at two under 286.
Arjun Singh (71, 72, 70, 78) secured seventh place with an overall score of three over 291.
Rahul Ganapathy (73, 73, 76, 74) and Harmeet Kahlon's (68, 76, 74, 78) matching totals of eight over 296 helped them finish tied 15th.
Harendra Gupta (71, 74, 74, 79) was two strokes behind Ganapathy in tied 22nd place.
Digvijay Singh (73, 74, 77, 78) ended the tournament at 14 over 302 and secured a share of 32nd place.
In the team championship, Ashok Kumar (professional), Mukesh Kumar (professional) and Mr. Gagan Verma's (amateur) team emerged victorious with a net score of 133.
The team comprising of Pappan (professional), Chiragh Kumar (professional) and Mr. Varun Verma (amateur) came in second with a net score of 135.
In the closest to the pin contest for the amateurs, Mr. Sharad Misra emerged victorious as his tee shot landed merely four feet nine inches short of the pin on the par three 11th hole.
Amateur golfer Ms. Neelam Pratap Rudy won the longest drive contest for amateurs on the 12th hole. Her drive measured 252 yards.
The straight drive contest was also at stake for the amateurs on the fifth hole. Mr. Steward Baker won this competition as his drive was just four feet five inches away from the centre of the fairway.

Bradley Dredge who had a great finish last week in the Irish Open said "he is looking forward to this week where the course suits his style of game and feels he can really contend over the week".

Peter Lawrie Wins in Spain
2008-05-06
Peter Lawrie made it a hat-trick of Irish victories in three consecutive weeks after his dramatic play-off victory over home favourite Ignacio Garrido in the Open de España at Real Club de Golf de Sevilla.
Lawrie’s maiden European Tour title – secured at the second extra hole thanks largely to a superb bunker shot – followed the breakthrough victory of his close friend and compatriot Damien McGrane at the Volvo China Open, and Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke’s first win for two-and-a-half years at last week’s BMW Asian Open.
McGrane – his room-mate on Tour – had turned the Volvo China Open into a procession, winning by nine shots, but Lawrie was made to work far harder for his victory in soaring temperatures in Seville.
Sitting on eleven under par after 12 holes of his final round, Lawrie’s chances of victory appeared remote. But four birdies in his last six holes saw the 34 year old installed as the clubhouse leader on 15 under par.
Overnight leader Garrido – playing in the final group with compatriot Miguel Angel Jiménez – had toiled on the front nine, dropping three shots; but a revival after the turn meant he needed a birdie on the 72nd hole to take the tournament to a play-off.
The Spaniard, whose father Antonio won the Spanish Open in 1972, duly rolled in a superb 30ft putt on the 18th green to ensure there would be more drama on an already eventful day in Seville.
And so to the play-off, with both men finding the fairway off the 18th tee. Lawrie landed his approach shot around 30 feet from the pin, whilst Garrido hit a sublime shot to within six feet of the hole.
Lawrie miraculously sunk his putt – via the left hand edge of the cup – to put the pressure back on Garrido. The Spaniard duly followed him in for birdie, meaning the pair returned to the 18th tee.
This time Lawrie found a fairway bunker, but found the heart of the green with a superbly struck eight iron from the sand.
In contrast, Garrido could only look on in horror as his approach pitched at pin height, but spun viciously back into the lake guarding the green.
And so Lawrie, after Garrido had pitched on for four, was left with two putts to seal his maiden European Tour victory and claim a £262,000 winner’s cheque which saw him climb from 88th to 12th on the Order of Merit.
The Dubliner, who in 2003 became the first Irishman to win the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year Award, said: “It feels unbelievable – I’m lost for words. I thought I’d already won the tournament once, because I didn’t think Ignacio would hole that putt on the 18th.
“So I had to regroup for the play-off, and ended up hitting one of the best putts of my life to keep myself in contention. It was a one in a hundred chance, and luckily it dropped in. I guess you have to get the rub of the green if you’re going to win a golf tournament these days.
“I knew if I got things going today, I would have a decent chance of winning. I’ve been playing quite well lately, without really getting my rewards, so maybe it was just my turn today. It was nice to add another trophy for the Irish contingent. Damien [McGrane], my room-mate on Tour, started the ball rolling in China, then Darren [Clarke] picked up the baton last week.
“My Putting was key to this week. I have been putting very well in recent weeks and I knew I was close to making a breakthrough. I have been practising hard on my short game over the last few months at my local club Castleknock Golf Club, the greens are fantastic, which has helped my short game come on leaps and bounds. I would doubt there are better greens to practise on in Ireland”.
“I will be trying to keep this run going, as I have set myself some other goals for the remainder of the season”.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my sponsors for their continued support, they are Castleknock Golf Club, Stuburt, Arachas Insurance and Srixon”.

Damien McGrane wins in China
2008-04-22
Ireland’s Damien McGrane defied the elements to claim his maiden European Tour title with a convincing nine stroke victory in the Volvo China Open at Beijing CBD International Golf Club.
After the calm of the first three days came the storm as an incessant downpour battered the players on the final day but McGrane was unfazed and remained completely in control as his opponents fell away.
For three days the Irishman putted beautifully and that touch stayed with him through the final round as time and again he saved par while others faltered. A closing round of 73 for a ten under par total of 278 left him nine clear of the English pair of Simon Griffiths and Oliver Wilson and Frenchman Michael Lorenzo-Vera.
From the outset it was a war of attrition in China’s Olympic City and on a day when 20 players started the day under par but only four finished in red figures, McGrane was effectively the last man standing.
Starting the final round with a three stroke cushion, McGrane dropped shots on the second and eighth but he was making fewer errors than those chasing and landed a killer blow when he holed a chip shot from the edge of the bunker on the ninth. Another birdie at the 11th followed and there was no looking back and by the time he stood on the 18th tee he had the luxury of a ten stroke lead. A closing bogey did nothing to dampen his spirits.
“I’m absolutely overjoyed,” said McGrane. “It is my first win and, to be honest, it is an amazing feeling to have won my first tournament. I have been thinking about winning one tournament for so long and this week everything went my way. I had good fortune, loved the course and the bad weather didn’t put me off my game today. Everything I have ever expected and now I have my first win on this Tour which is big for me.”
McGrane putted sensationally all week and his tap in on the 72 hole was only his 96th putt of the week, statistics which underpinned his success.
“My short game this week was excellent and I knew if the weather turned, everyone would need their short game and would rely on it. I was lucky in that I knew going out I had the short game required and I made the most of my opportunities and there wasn’t many out there. My putting was good and for that one reason I have won this Volvo China Open.
“Anyone with any sense wouldn’t have gone out in that. It was one of those days where everyone had to knuckle down and do the best they can. It was extremely difficult and I hit woods and rescues into all the par fours. It really was a tough day in the office. But my putting was good and you had to putt well for pars let alone birdies. It came my way today, the weather if not on my side, helped stop other players making a charge at my lead. Once I made as many pars as possible the tournament was mine and the Volvo China Open was mine.”
For the record, he became the seventh first-time winner in his 169th European Tour event with comfortably the largest winning margin of the season. Now he plans on spending some of the €232,121 first prize on a holiday to Antarctica.
“Every player who plays The European Tour, their dream is to win and you have to win once,” he added. “I have won once so the world is my oyster now and hopefully I can go on and win more events. Even defend my title successfully next year. It is great to travel worldwide now and no matter where you win in the world it is sweet and my first win, it is what I have worked for since I was a little boy.”
Damien has been a great player for a long time and has come close to winning on several occasions. But with this win under his belt we are sure that Damien can progress to greater heights.
GMI could not be more proud of Damien on his first win on the European Tour and we would like to congratulate him, as he truly deserves it.
GMI currently has 16 players under management and Damien joins the list of 7 players from our portfolio who have won on the European Tour.
