11th
April, New Delhi: Delhi’s Manu Gandas claimed the
season opening title after shooting one-over on the final day of USHA IGU Delhi
Juniors Golf Championship at Army Golf Club, AEPTA in Delhi. Gandas was
one-under after front nine but a double bogey on 16th and a bogey on
17th made him score one-over for the total of 291(74,72,72,73). Playing in the Category A, Gandas was the
leader from day two, who also started the day with the aim of snatching the win
from category B boys.
Category A – Delhi’s Honey Baisoya,
who was struggling for an under-par round on the first and second day, returned
in his actual form when he hit one-under for the total of 294 (77,75,71,71) to
finish as second in a tie along with Noida’s Shubhankar Sharma and Abhishek
Kuhar. Sharma shot two-over for the total of 294 while Kuhar shot three-over
for the total of 294 and they both finished third and fourth respectively.
In Category B – Overnight leader
Kolkata’s Viraj Madappa won the tournament by shooting five-over 77 for the
total of 294. Though Madappa has won, his day was a little disappointed as he
birdied 2nd, 7th and 17th while he made bogeys
on 5th, 9th, 10th, 16th and 18th
and triple bogey on 6th. Another Kolkata boy Mohan Sardar’s dream of
winning the title couldn’t come true as he closed with 6-over 78 for the total
of 303 to take second position while the third place was taken by Chandiagrh’s
Feroz Grewal in a tie along with Jaipur’s Prakhar Asawa who finished fourth at
305.
