The 29-year-old's maiden Asian Tour triumph over a top-class field which included Asia's finest and the likes of Ernie Els and several of Europe's Ryder Cup stars earned him a lucrative US $416,660 cheque, and while it is still early days in the race to become Asia's number one, his lead of over US $300,000 from compatriot Digvijay Singh looks certain to keep him in the merit mix come December.

"Right now, my mind is totally blocked because I'm not able to think of anything," said Chowrasia, only the third Indian to taste victory in a co-sanctioned event with the European Tour.

"More and more caddies will now take up the game and they will also feel that they can also do well if they start playing and working at it."
