5 things we learned at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways
Fiji, August 6: Here are 5 takeaways from the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways.
- Bula! And we are not talking about Gaganjeet Bhullar. Bula actually means ‘life’ in Fiji and in a greeting, it implies wishes for ‘good health’ and ‘hello’.
- With nine Asian Tour titles in his bag, Bhullar now holds the most number of wins by an Indian on the Asian Tour.
- Prior to his latest victory at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airway, Bhullar had five top-10s which included two runner-up finishes at the Maekyung Open and Queen’s Cup in Korea and Thailand respectively.
- It was a beach oasis like no other. One of the most scenic places on the course was the Fiji Airways Beach Oasis at the par-three eight which was located alongside the Coral Coast. It was the perfect vantage point to catch the action while enjoying the views, drinks and snacks.
- 38 out of 58 members who teed off made the weekend cut, ensuring a strong Asian Tour presence at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways, which was tri-sanctioned by the Asian Tour European Tour and ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia.
August 6: India’s Anirban Lahiri fired a two-under-par 68 to finish in tied-sixth place in the final round of the World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday.
The 2015 Asian Tour number one, traded four birdies against two bogeys to finish on an eight-under-par 280 total, seven shots behind Justin Thomas of the United States who won his maiden World Golf Championship title at Firestone Country Club. Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat settled for tied 31st place following a final round of 71 while Australia’s Wade Ormsby ended his campaign in tied 39th place after shooting a 73.
Current Habitat for Humanity Standings leader Shubhankar Sharma of India, carded a 70 to share 69th place with Japan’s Kodai Ichihara (68) on a 293 total.
At the Seniors Tour in Japan, Thai Veteran Prayad Marksaeng continued his winning ways when he won his fourth title of the season at the Maruhan Cup Pacific Club Senior on Sunday.
He carded a two-under-par 70 to win by one-shot. His winning total of nine-under-par 135 at the Pacific Club Rokko Course puts him firmly on track to win the PGA of Japan Senior Tour Order of Merit for the third consecutive year.

Fiji, August 5: India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar withstood the intense pressure by producing one of the best shots of the week on the 17th hole which would eventually seal his ninth Asian Tour win at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways on Sunday.
Staring at yet another bridesmaid finish this season, the Indian showed he would not be cowed under pressure as he holed a monstrous chip from outside the green for an eagle-three.
That eagle provided him with some relief as he would head into the last hole with a one-shot advantage over Australia’s Anthony Quayle, who had earlier broken the course record with his nine-under-par 63 at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course.
Bhullar hit his approach shot straight onto the green on 18 and left his birdie putt just short of the hole. An easy tap-in for par for a winning total of 14-under-par 274 would soon confirm the 30-year-old as the newest winner of the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways.
Australia’s Anthony Quayle, who started the day two shots back of Bhullar, surmounted a late challenge when he stormed home with three birdies and two eagles in his back-nine.
However, it was still not enough to catch Bhullar on a day when the Indian showed great composure and mental courage.
Major winner Ernie Els of South Africa also staged a late comeback by closing with a 65 to share third place with New Zealand’s Ben Campbell at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways, which being tri-sanctioned by the Asian Tour European Tour and ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia again.

Players Quotes
Gaganjeet Bhullar (Ind) Fourth round 66 (-6), Total 274 (-14)
It was a tough day. It was windy, flags were tough, but I played really well. I gave myself many, many opportunities today. The key was I got on to a really good start, I was three under after four holes and I think that kept me going. And just around the turn things were actually getting a little tough for me, but I think I managed to make a really good par save on number 10. That gave me a lot of boost, a lot of confidence. After that, it was just one shot at a time and I was just able to execute. I was mentally prepared for that. I knew somebody or another had to go low today. Even Ernie Els, he’s a legend, he was playing really well. Anthony, I know his game, he played really well. Nine-under out there in these conditions, that’s a great round of golf. Even though after number 16, I still had hopes, I still had kind of a feeling that I can still win the tournament, but I think that chip in on 17, that pretty much closed the deal. I had a little bit of an idea that this chip is going to run a lot, but it wasn’t an easy chip, I could have easily missed up and down and settled for second or third. This kind of good form was definitely building up from last, I would say, two months, I had two good finishes. In fact, more than two, but two runner up finishes on the Asian Tour. I’ve been playing really well. It was just a matter of time and I’m glad it happened on this stage.
Anthony Quayle (Aus) Fourth round 63 (-9), Total 275 (-13)
That was pretty awesome out there. I got to play with Ernie and played a pretty awesome back nine there. I’m pretty happy with it regardless of the finish. I was just saying I struggled to kind of comprehend I was playing with Ernie. I’m at a loss for words at the moment, it hasn’t sunk in. It was a great round and it was cool to do it in front of him. He had a few nice words for me in the scorer’s tent. He said that was some back nine, really impressive. If you keep at it, you’ll do well. It was pretty cool.
Ernie Els (Rsa) Fourth round 65 (-7), Total 276 (-12)
It was really a great day. I think people on television, spectators out there, they would have had a great thrill because there’s some really great golf being played. Conditions weren’t that easy. Guys I was playing with, 63. I shot 65. Mr. Bhullar just chipped in there for an eagle, so there’s a lot going on. I’m pleased with my round and pleased with the tournament and it’s been a lot of fun, really a lot of fun in Fiji. I did almost as much as I could. I set out to try to shoot 65, which I did, and Anthony just played unbelievable. Jeez, what is it, 29 on the back nine? That’s unbelievable stuff. Great golf and well deserved. Whoever wins, they deserve it because it’s great golf. He’s (Anthony) got a great game, great attitude. He’s got the whole package. He hits it long, he’s got great touch, and under the gun he really brought his stuff. He eagled 17 and he had to get the ball up and down. He was off the fairways a lot, but he kept hanging in there. And to shoot 29 on the back nine is incredible.

Fiji, August 4: India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar, an eight-time Asian Tour winner, is ready to draw on his winning experience on Tour to power himself towards another victory as he snatched the third round lead with a three-under-par 69 at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways on Saturday.
The 30-year-old has won under blustery conditions before, most notably in Macau and he believes he can replicate that similar winning form as he holds a one-shot advantage over the Australian quartet of Jake McLeon, Jarryd Felton, Terry Pilkadaris and Andrew Dodt with his three-day total of eight-under-par 208.
McLeon, who finished tied-second in Thailand last week, hopes to ride on his good form and surmount a challenge on the day which matters most after returning with a 70 at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course.
Overnight leader Ben Campbell of New Zealand meanwhile had a day to forget when he saw his four-shot advantage wiped out after returning with a 77 to slip down to sixth place.

Players Quotes
Gaganjeet Bhullar (Ind) Third round 69 (-3), Total 208 (-8)
I had a great start to the day. I started with two good birdies and then I kept on hitting the ball really well and the ball was in play throughout the round. I think today my striking was really, really good. Despite the windy conditions, I kept the ball in play, and actually I holed a lot of really tricky putts today. Looking at the scores, it wasn’t an easy round of golf today. Wind was howling, it was gusty, especially on the back nine. Numbers 10, 11 and 12, these holes were playing straight into the wind, they were really tough. But yeah, I’m glad I played well today and it’s good to be back in contention. It’s never easy to play in this kind of situations, but I remember the last tournament I won was in Macau and it was really, really windy. So of course I do have a lot of positive memories playing in this kind of situation. Golf is an individual game. You just have to stick to your own routine and the process. I think that’s going to be my game plan tomorrow.
Jake McLeod (Aus) Third round 70 (-2), Total 209 (-7)
It was a tough day out there today with all the wind, but I played really nicely, made a lot of putts, which is nice. I played pretty well last week as well. So the putter’s finally coming together for me and I’m pretty happy about that. It’s always a good opportunity being up near the lead in the last round, so really looking forward to it.
Ben Campbell (Nzl) Third round 77 (+5), Total 210 (-6)
I don’t feel like I played anywhere near as bad as what I scored actually. I think I only made one putt out there. It was a bit frustrating. As I said yesterday, you just needed to kind of chip and putt your way around here and that’s exactly what I didn’t do today. I’m only two back and I could have easily holed six or seven putts just like that and been still well clear today.
Ernie Els Third round 69 (-3) Total 211 (-5)
It was a nice solid round. The conditions were a little bit tougher than yesterday obviously, but I still made a bit of a mess on the front nine. I made two very soft bogeys. I played the back nine quite well and finished nicely. So I’ll be quite far behind, but at least be within sniffing distance. I’m starting to hit the ball nicely, starting to get a bit more confidence in the putter. The greens are running beautiful. So it’s there, I’ve just got to keep it together a bit more on the front nine. The front nine, I think, has been playing a little bit tougher this week. Doing that, maybe I can do a little charge on the back nine tomorrow. It’s been a while (to be in contention), so it’s very nice. We’re having a good week, myself, my daughter, my wife. We’re enjoying Fiji. And the locals have been wonderful, everyone’s been great. So it’s nice to play a tournament and actually, as I said, have a sniff at it tomorrow.

Bengaluru, August 4: A strong cast of Asian Tour stars, comprising of over 25 Tour winners, will tee up for the second edition of the TAKE Solutions Masters at the Karnataka Golf Association next week.
The talented 156-man field, made up of players from 20 different countries, will be vying for an increased prize purse of US$350,000 at the co-sanctioned Asian Tour and PGTI event which will take place from August 9 to 12.
Zimbabwean Scott Vincent, the highest-ranked player in ninth place on the latest Asian Tour Habitat for Humanity Order of Merit, will spearhead the international charge against a strong local contingent, which includes Gaganjeet Bhullar, ranked tenth, S.S.P. Chawrasia, Khalin Joshi, Chiragh Kumar and Jeev Milkha Singh.
In-form Vincent, who has had six top-10 finishes so far this season, will continue his chase for a breakthrough win on the region’s premier Tour when he makes his debut appearance in India next week.
“I’m excited to be there. I know it’s Khalin’s (Joshi) hometown. I’m looking forward to him showing us around next week. It’s always exciting to visit a new place. I have spoken to a few guys and everyone said the golf course is fantastic,” said the 26-year-old Vincent.
“The things that I have been working on are starting to come right and they have allowed me to become more consistent. It’s the hard work I think. There’s no magic for me, just hard work and good form,” Vincent added.
Vincent enjoyed a solid year in 2016 after coming through the Qualifying School that year. He claimed three top-10 results to finish in 28th position on the Order of Merit and was named Rookie of the Year.
In 2017, he notched four top-10s to finish in a commendable 17th place on the Order of Merit and retained his Asian Tour card for the 2018 season.
“I took two weeks off after Indonesia Open. I had a good rest and I also did some work, just to make sure things are moving in the right direction. I spent some time with my golf coach in Florida and we worked on a few changes.
“I’m hitting the ball well and putting well so hopefully I can be in contention when the tournament starts next week,” said Vincent.
Other notable players in the field include defending champion Poom Saksansin of Thailand, Miguel Tabuena of the Philippines, as well as Prom Meesawat and Danthai Boonma of Thailand.
TAKE Solutions is a globally-recognised domain-leader in life sciences and supply chain management. This year, TAKE Solutions have raised the prize purse by US$50,000 after a successful edition last year.

Players Quotes
Ben Campbell (Nzl) Second round 66 (-6), Total 133 (-11)
Yeah, I played really well out there. I got off to a nice start, which was good. I didn’t hit really too many bad shots out there. The putter was feeling good, I chipped it well, and yeah, it was just keeping the ball in play, so I couldn’t complain much. I think this is one of the first few times I’ve ever played it in this kind of conditions. The game plan actually changed a little bit as you were able to have a go at a few flags. I just feel a lot more comfortable out here. There’s obviously a long way to go there. But winning any event would help in some way, whether it’s get your status or secure status or get you into other events and things like that. But yeah, obviously I think the easy part is done, it’s the tough part now to keep going.
Andrew Dodt (Aus) Second round 70 (-2), Total 137 (-7)
I didn’t make a birdie on the back nine, which is a bit frustrating considering that the wind completely dropped and scoring was there to take advantage of. But I’m still in a good position and excited for the weekend. It was a different direction for the first nine holes, but when I put the pins in my yardage box this morning, I thought the pins were quite accessible, so I am quite surprised that no one did go low because it was there for the taking. I probably need to stay aggressive and keep attacking. My nature is a little bit going into a bit of a shell and get a bit defensive, so I really need to keep the foot on the accelerator and keep being aggressive. Ben’s obviously playing well, so he’s going to take a bit of catching, but I can only do my best.
Gaganjeet Bhullar (Ind) Second round 69 (-3), Total 139 (-5)
I had a shaky start to the round, I started with a bogey and then I had another bogey on three but I made a really good birdie on number two and a great par save on number four. I was struggling with my driving on the first three holes, but after that, I kind of got my momentum and swung the ball really well on the back nine. And, you know, three-under, even though it’s not that great of a round, and there’s still 36 holes to go, I’m in a good position right now. There were tough conditions when we got started and it was not easy to hit the ball that close. Despite the fact, I kept on telling myself to hit a lot of greens in regulation and kept the ball in play pretty much on the back nine. I am enjoying my time in Fiji. Every time I’m here, every third person is calling my surname, calling "bula, bula." It’s very good. My wife is here and we both are enjoying ourselves, having a great time.
Wu Ashun (Chn) Second round 69 (-3), Total 139 (-5)
The conditions were very good today and I had enough time to warm up today, too. Yesterday was a bit of a rush. Today was way better and I had the time to warm up a little bit and the weather was better in the morning. Today I missed a couple birdie chances, but I’ll just go for it tomorrow and see what happens.
Poom Saksansin (Tha) Second round 68 (-4), Total 141 (-3)
I don’t know why I cannot play well in the wind. I hope the weather stay like how it was today. Otherwise I’ll be gone with the wind! I can control my ball better when there’s no wind. I’m also putting well. If the winds blows this weekend, I just have to pray to myself!

Fiji, August 3: New Zealand’s Ben Campbell swept aside his closest rivals by firing a six-under-par 66 to surge to the top of the leaderboard after the early second round of the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways on Friday.
Campell held a share of the overnight lead after opening with a 67 at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course.
The New Zealander showed his intent to break clear of the tight leaderboard by charging towards the turn in 33 with three birdies.
He then moved further ahead by snaring four more birdies on holes 11, 12, 14 and 17 before dropping his only shot of the day on the closing 18 for a two-day total of 11-under-par 133.
"I played really well out there. I got off to a nice start, which was good. I didn’t hit really too many bad shots out there. The putter was feeling good, I chipped it well, and yeah, it was just keeping the ball in play, so I couldn’t complain much," said Campbell.
China’s Wu Ashun overcame his early tournament jitters by making his move with a 69 which was highlighted by an eagle three on 17 to stay six shots back of Campbell at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways, which being tri-sanctioned by the Asian Tour European Tour and ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia again.
“The conditions were very good today and I had enough time to warm up today, too. Yesterday was a bit of a rush.
“Today was way better and I had the time to warm up a little bit and the weather was better in the morning. Today I missed a couple birdie chances, but I’ll just go for it tomorrow and see what happens,” said the Chinese.

Fiji, August 5: India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar withstood the intense pressure by producing one of the best shots of the week on the 17th hole which would eventually seal his ninth Asian Tour win at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways on Sunday.
Staring at yet another bridesmaid finish this season, the Indian showed he would not be cowed under pressure as he holed a monstrous chip from outside the green for an eagle-three.
That eagle provided him with some relief as he would head into the last hole with a one-shot advantage over Australia’s Anthony Quayle, who had earlier broken the course record with his nine-under-par 63 at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course.
Bhullar hit his approach shot straight onto the green on 18 and left his birdie putt just short of the hole. An easy tap-in for par for a winning total of 14-under-par 274 would soon confirm the 30-year-old as the newest winner of the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways.
Australia’s Anthony Quayle, who started the day two shots back of Bhullar, surmounted a late challenge when he stormed home with three birdies and two eagles in his back-nine.
However, it was still not enough to catch Bhullar on a day when the Indian showed great composure and mental courage.
Major winner Ernie Els of South Africa also staged a late comeback by closing with a 65 to share third place with New Zealand’s Ben Campbell at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways, which being tri-sanctioned by the Asian Tour European Tour and ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia again.

Players Quotes
Gaganjeet Bhullar (Ind) Fourth round 66 (-6), Total 274 (-14)
It was a tough day. It was windy, flags were tough, but I played really well. I gave myself many, many opportunities today. The key was I got on to a really good start, I was three under after four holes and I think that kept me going. And just around the turn things were actually getting a little tough for me, but I think I managed to make a really good par save on number 10. That gave me a lot of boost, a lot of confidence. After that, it was just one shot at a time and I was just able to execute. I was mentally prepared for that. I knew somebody or another had to go low today. Even Ernie Els, he’s a legend, he was playing really well. Anthony, I know his game, he played really well. Nine-under out there in these conditions, that’s a great round of golf. Even though after number 16, I still had hopes, I still had kind of a feeling that I can still win the tournament, but I think that chip in on 17, that pretty much closed the deal. I had a little bit of an idea that this chip is going to run a lot, but it wasn’t an easy chip, I could have easily missed up and down and settled for second or third. This kind of good form was definitely building up from last, I would say, two months, I had two good finishes. In fact, more than two, but two runner up finishes on the Asian Tour. I’ve been playing really well. It was just a matter of time and I’m glad it happened on this stage.
Anthony Quayle (Aus) Fourth round 63 (-9), Total 275 (-13)
That was pretty awesome out there. I got to play with Ernie and played a pretty awesome back nine there. I’m pretty happy with it regardless of the finish. I was just saying I struggled to kind of comprehend I was playing with Ernie. I’m at a loss for words at the moment, it hasn’t sunk in. It was a great round and it was cool to do it in front of him. He had a few nice words for me in the scorer’s tent. He said that was some back nine, really impressive. If you keep at it, you’ll do well. It was pretty cool.
Ernie Els (Rsa) Fourth round 65 (-7), Total 276 (-12)
It was really a great day. I think people on television, spectators out there, they would have had a great thrill because there’s some really great golf being played. Conditions weren’t that easy. Guys I was playing with, 63. I shot 65. Mr. Bhullar just chipped in there for an eagle, so there’s a lot going on. I’m pleased with my round and pleased with the tournament and it’s been a lot of fun, really a lot of fun in Fiji. I did almost as much as I could. I set out to try to shoot 65, which I did, and Anthony just played unbelievable. Jeez, what is it, 29 on the back nine? That’s unbelievable stuff. Great golf and well deserved. Whoever wins, they deserve it because it’s great golf. He’s (Anthony) got a great game, great attitude. He’s got the whole package. He hits it long, he’s got great touch, and under the gun he really brought his stuff. He eagled 17 and he had to get the ball up and down. He was off the fairways a lot, but he kept hanging in there. And to shoot 29 on the back nine is incredible.

Fiji, August 4: India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar, an eight-time Asian Tour winner, is ready to draw on his winning experience on Tour to power himself towards another victory as he snatched the third round lead with a three-under-par 69 at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways on Saturday.
The 30-year-old has won under blustery conditions before, most notably in Macau and he believes he can replicate that similar winning form as he holds a one-shot advantage over the Australian quartet of Jake McLeon, Jarryd Felton, Terry Pilkadaris and Andrew Dodt with his three-day total of eight-under-par 208.
McLeon, who finished tied-second in Thailand last week, hopes to ride on his good form and surmount a challenge on the day which matters most after returning with a 70 at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course.
Overnight leader Ben Campbell of New Zealand meanwhile had a day to forget when he saw his four-shot advantage wiped out after returning with a 77 to slip down to sixth place.
South Africa’s Ernie Els, a four-time Major champion and former world number one, underlined his credentials by signing for a 69 to haul himself back into contention at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways, which being tri-sanctioned by the Asian Tour European Tour and ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia again.

Players Quotes
Gaganjeet Bhullar (Ind) Third round 69 (-3), Total 208 (-8)
I had a great start to the day. I started with two good birdies and then I kept on hitting the ball really well and the ball was in play throughout the round. I think today my striking was really, really good. Despite the windy conditions, I kept the ball in play, and actually I holed a lot of really tricky putts today. Looking at the scores, it wasn’t an easy round of golf today. Wind was howling, it was gusty, especially on the back nine. Numbers 10, 11 and 12, these holes were playing straight into the wind, they were really tough. But yeah, I’m glad I played well today and it’s good to be back in contention. It’s never easy to play in this kind of situations, but I remember the last tournament I won was in Macau and it was really, really windy. So of course I do have a lot of positive memories playing in this kind of situation. Golf is an individual game. You just have to stick to your own routine and the process. I think that’s going to be my game plan tomorrow.
Jake McLeod (Aus) Third round 70 (-2), Total 209 (-7)
It was a tough day out there today with all the wind, but I played really nicely, made a lot of putts, which is nice. I played pretty well last week as well. So the putter’s finally coming together for me and I’m pretty happy about that. It’s always a good opportunity being up near the lead in the last round, so really looking forward to it.
Ben Campbell (Nzl) Third round 77 (+5), Total 210 (-6)
I don’t feel like I played anywhere near as bad as what I scored actually. I think I only made one putt out there. It was a bit frustrating. As I said yesterday, you just needed to kind of chip and putt your way around here and that’s exactly what I didn’t do today. I’m only two back and I could have easily holed six or seven putts just like that and been still well clear today.
Ernie Els Third round 69 (-3) Total 211 (-5)
It was a nice solid round. The conditions were a little bit tougher than yesterday obviously, but I still made a bit of a mess on the front nine. I made two very soft bogeys. I played the back nine quite well and finished nicely. So I’ll be quite far behind, but at least be within sniffing distance. I’m starting to hit the ball nicely, starting to get a bit more confidence in the putter. The greens are running beautiful. So it’s there, I’ve just got to keep it together a bit more on the front nine. The front nine, I think, has been playing a little bit tougher this week. Doing that, maybe I can do a little charge on the back nine tomorrow. It’s been a while (to be in contention), so it’s very nice. We’re having a good week, myself, my daughter, my wife. We’re enjoying Fiji. And the locals have been wonderful, everyone’s been great. So it’s nice to play a tournament and actually, as I said, have a sniff at it tomorrow.

“The things that I have been working on are starting to come right and they have allowed me to become more consistent. It’s the hard work I think. There’s no magic for me, just hard work and good form,” Vincent added.
Vincent enjoyed a solid year in 2016 after coming through the Qualifying School that year. He claimed three top-10 results to finish in 28th position on the Order of Merit and was named Rookie of the Year.
In 2017, he notched four top-10s to finish in a commendable 17th place on the Order of Merit and retained his Asian Tour card for the 2018 season.
“I took two weeks off after Indonesia Open. I had a good rest and I also did some work, just to make sure things are moving in the right direction. I spent some time with my golf coach in Florida and we worked on a few changes.
“I’m hitting the ball well and putting well so hopefully I can be in contention when the tournament starts next week,” said Vincent.
Other notable players in the field include defending champion Poom Saksansin of Thailand, Miguel Tabuena of the Philippines, as well as Prom Meesawat and Danthai Boonma of Thailand.

Fiji, August 3: New Zealand’s Ben Campbell swept aside his closest rivals by firing a six-under-par 66 to surge to the top of the leaderboard with a four-shot cushion after the second round of the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways on Friday.
Campell held a share of the overnight lead after opening with a 67 at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course but showed his intent of breaking clear of the tight leaderboard when he charged towards the turn in 33 with three birdies.
He then moved further ahead by snaring four more birdies on holes 11, 12, 14 and 17 before dropping his only shot of the day on the closing 18 for a two-day total of 11-under-par 133.
Australia’s Andrew Dodt, who also opened with a 67 to share pole position after the first round, lost his advantage as he could only settle for a 70 to take second place.
China’s Wu Ashun meanwhile overcame his early tournament jitters by making his move with a 69 which was highlighted by an eagle three on 17 to stay six shots back of Campbell in tied-fifth place.
India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar made his Fijian debut count with another assured performance by signing for a 69 to share fifth place with Wu as well as the Australian trio of Nicholas Cullen, Steven Jeffress, Jake McLeod and New Zealand’s Nick Voke and Harry Bateman.
Thailand’s Poom Saksansin will meanwhile be hoping for favourable weather as he heads into the weekend round in tied-12 position.
Poom has never been a big fan of playing under blustery conditions and hopes the day’s benign conditions can set him up for another title charge as the weekend round beckons at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways, which being tri-sanctioned by the Asian Tour European Tour and ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia again.

Players Quotes
Ben Campbell (Nzl) Second round 66 (-6), Total 133 (-11)
Yeah, I played really well out there. I got off to a nice start, which was good. I didn’t hit really too many bad shots out there. The putter was feeling good, I chipped it well, and yeah, it was just keeping the ball in play, so I couldn’t complain much. I think this is one of the first few times I’ve ever played it in this kind of conditions. The game plan actually changed a little bit as you were able to have a go at a few flags. I just feel a lot more comfortable out here. There’s obviously a long way to go there. But winning any event would help in some way, whether it’s get your status or secure status or get you into other events and things like that. But yeah, obviously I think the easy part is done, it’s the tough part now to keep going.
Andrew Dodt (Aus) Second round 70 (-2), Total 137 (-7)
I didn’t make a birdie on the back nine, which is a bit frustrating considering that the wind completely dropped and scoring was there to take advantage of. But I’m still in a good position and excited for the weekend. It was a different direction for the first nine holes, but when I put the pins in my yardage box this morning, I thought the pins were quite accessible, so I am quite surprised that no one did go low because it was there for the taking. I probably need to stay aggressive and keep attacking. My nature is a little bit going into a bit of a shell and get a bit defensive, so I really need to keep the foot on the accelerator and keep being aggressive. Ben’s obviously playing well, so he’s going to take a bit of catching, but I can only do my best.
Gaganjeet Bhullar (Ind) Second round 69 (-3), Total 139 (-5)
I had a shaky start to the round, I started with a bogey and then I had another bogey on three but I made a really good birdie on number two and a great par save on number four. I was struggling with my driving on the first three holes, but after that, I kind of got my momentum and swung the ball really well on the back nine. And, you know, three-under, even though it’s not that great of a round, and there’s still 36 holes to go, I’m in a good position right now. There were tough conditions when we got started and it was not easy to hit the ball that close. Despite the fact, I kept on telling myself to hit a lot of greens in regulation and kept the ball in play pretty much on the back nine. I am enjoying my time in Fiji. Every time I’m here, every third person is calling my surname, calling "bula, bula." It’s very good. My wife is here and we both are enjoying ourselves, having a great time.
Wu Ashun (Chn) Second round 69 (-3), Total 139 (-5)
The conditions were very good today and I had enough time to warm up today, too. Yesterday was a bit of a rush. Today was way better and I had the time to warm up a little bit and the weather was better in the morning. Today I missed a couple birdie chances, but I’ll just go for it tomorrow and see what happens.
Poom Saksansin (Tha) Second round 68 (-4), Total 141 (-3)
I don’t know why I cannot play well in the wind. I hope the weather stay like how it was today. Otherwise I’ll be gone with the wind! I can control my ball better when there’s no wind. I’m also putting well. If the winds blows this weekend, I just have to pray to myself!
