Two-time Macau Open winner Gaganjeet Bhullar says it is time to deliver on the European Tour stage – and next month’s UBS Hong Kong Open is where he can put his name in lights.

Bhullar, 29, collected his eighth Asian Tour title with a three-shot victory in the US$500,000 Macau Open on Sunday, leading wire-to-wire like he did in 2012.

But Bhullar was at a loss to explain why it is taking so long to go to the next level.

“I don’t know where I’m lacking or falling behind. All I know is I will keep working until I reach the PGA Tour. That is my goal and I’ve been saying this since 2009 when my first victory came.

“My next goal is to win a co-sanctioned event with the European Tour. I expect to perform well in big events in the coming years,” said Bhullar, who is ranked 237th in the world, the second highest Indian behind Anirban Lahiri (65).

His next opportunity will come in Hong Kong (November 23-26) where Bhullar boasts a best finish of 10th three years ago.
