‘Was confident from the start’
Young Indian golfer Kshitij Naveed Kaul has said he felt confident right from the go about winning the Mujib Borsho Chattogram Open after cruising to a six-shot victory at the Bhatiary Golf and Country Club yesterday.
The 21-year-old, the overnight leader by five shots, drove home the advantage scoring eight birdies against two bogeys and a double-bogey in round four to total 19-under (269) at the INR 50 lakh event.
Bangladesh's leading star Siddikur Rahman (71-66-69-69) finished as runner-up at 13-under 275 after his last round of 69.
"I was confident from the start of the week and felt I could win. It's been great to win two titles in such a short span of time. I've had a terrific start to the year and would like to make it count from here on," said Kshitij.
Bangladesh's Badal Hossain and Akbar Hossain finished tied for third at 11-under 277 while Zamal Hossain Mollah took sixth place at nine-under 279.
Sunit Chowrasia was the second Indian to finish inside the top-5 as he claimed fifth place at 10-under 278.
