Manu Gandas wins USHA IGU Delhi Juniors Golf Championship


New Delhi, April 13, 2012: 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 here today.

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.
