Set to tee off in next week's SAIL Open, Jyoti Randhawa said his struggle to regain form is finally over.

He said he has learnt his lesson from the bad patch to emerge as a better golfer.

An eight-time winner on the Asian Tour, Randhawa said everyone encounters a bad phase in his life and all depends on how fast one overcomes it.

"Yes, I have been struggling for the last few months and failed to make some adjustments. But now there is lot of improvement in my game and I have learnt to play under pressure," said a confident Randhawa.

"I am hitting the ball nicely and I can count myself as a much better player than last year. You can say 80 per cent better and hope to continue with it in the season ahead. It's still a long way to go of course," said the European Tour regular.

Randhawa said age has taught him some important lesson and he only grew better with time, just like old wine.

"I feel I have regained the form at the right time. I am much more focused and trying to stick to that. My experience also helped me a lot to re-evaluate things. It's like a bottle of wine, the older it is, the better it tastes," he said.

Randhawa, who would next be seen in action in the Rs 1.7 million Business Today-Honda Pro-Am Champions event commencing March 27 and in the third edition of the USD 300,000 SAIL Open beginning March 30, said he will put his best foot forward to win these championships.

"After Avantha Masters, these would be my first major tournaments. Playing in SAIL Open will be a good experience for me before heading back to Europe. Some top players from Asia would be competing in it.

"Patience and consistency have been the key for my solid performances in the past and I will try to carry on with them," he said.

On defending champion Chapchai Nirat intention to rewrite his world 72-hole scoring record, Randhawa said Thai golfer stands no chance at the Delhi Golf Club, given the narrow fairways and long bushes there.

"There is no chance. He is eyeing a very difficult target. If that happens, I will personally go and shake hand with him," Randhawa said.

About the legendary Tiger Woods' returns to golf in next month's Augusta Masters, Randhawa said it was what the game needed most.

"He is a great athlete. A self-controlled, concentrated, and focused man whose presence golf badly needs. His return will boost the viewership which has drastically gone down. I am looking forward to Augusta," Randhawa said.
