Hampshire golfer Sam Hutsby will be aiming to give his European Tour season a shot in the arm at this week’s Hero Indian Open.

The Liphook member, back on the elite circuit, following a two-year absence, after qualifying through the Challenge Tour last season, has failed to make the cut in five events.

However, the 26-year-old is part of the field at Delhi GC this week and, with some of the Tour’s big guns choosing not to play in the $1.5m event, his chances of a ‘cash’ finish should be increased.
