Twelve years ago, it seemed destined that Kapur would become a golfer very much in the mold of Jeev Milkha Singh, Jyoti Randhawa and Arjun Atwal, who hold a combined 22 Asian Tour titles and five Order of Merit crowns.
As a 23-year-old, Kapur won the 2005 Volvo Masters of Asia, then the season-ending tournament on the Asian Tour in Bangkok and was subsequently named Rookie of the Year. With what looked like a technically sound golf game and a level head on his shoulders, many expected him to reel in multiple wins in Asia and beyond.
He did play his way onto the European Tour and attained some measure of success but the second big career victory always eluded him despite some close shaves. Two triumphs on the European Challenge Tour were scant consolation to a man who seemed to have it all at his feet.
Throughout the barren years, Kapur went down the route which most golfers are accustomed to do - he tinkered with his game in search of something better.
