Demerara.
Rajkumar, who is based in Canada speaking with Kaieteur Sport earlier this week, admitted that he is not in the same kind of form that took him to the title last year, but felt confident enough about his game to be a strong contender for the title.
He conceded that the Course will need a bit of reacclimatising, referring to the pace of the greens and getting adjusted to the different type of grass as compared to what he is accustomed to back in Canada, but his vast experience and his patience could very well prove to be decisive factors to defy the odds.
However, there are a number of local players who could provide a stiff challenge for him in his quest to retain the coveted crown.
Among those who could be in contention heading into the final day tomorrow are Colin Ming, Roy Cummings, who is a former Red Jacket holder, overseas-based Andrew Claxton and Prem Ramnauth, Carlos Adams, Clifford Reis, Patrick Prashad, Vijay Deo, Avinash Persaud, Avinda Kishore, William Walker, Sukhram, Joaan Deo, Ian Gouveia, Esau Shamshudin, Bhowlaram Deo, Brian Hackett, Mike Mangal, Mike Gayadin, Troy Cadogan, Mark Lashley, Jerome Khan, Fazil Haniff, Muntaz Haniff and Chatterpaul Deo.
