Amanjyot wins maiden amateur title

By Staff

Jaipur, Jan 11 (UNI) Local lad Amanjyot Singh shot a final round of three-over par 73 to clinch the LG Rambagh Golf Club Golf Championship title at the Rambagh Golf Club here today.

Amanjyot's final tally stood at 1-over 281.

Saurabh Bahuguna was the only player to challenge the leader but fell short by four strokes even as he finished with a birdie.

With a five shot lead, Amanjyot adopted a defensive approach and made pars on the first five holes.

Saurabh meanwhile made a bogey in the third and a birdie on the fourth as the lead remained constant. Amanjyot made two consecutive bogeys as the lead reduced to three.

However Saurabh made a double bogey on the par-3 16 th and that proved crucial as Amanjyot made a par to lead by four and added one more stroke with a birdie on the 17th.

Saurabh did manage to make a birdie on the 18th but it came a little too late.

With a final round of two over 72, the Delhi amateur finished at 285 for the runner-up position.

Simarjeet Singh with a better final day card finished third pipping Rahul Bajaj with both of them finishing at 289. Tarun Ghogale was fifth at 290 while Vikram Rana was sixth at 292.

Shubham Jindal and Rashid Khan were tied for the seventh place at 293.
