The 25-year-old Amrit Lal (70-70-74), the overnight joint leader, fired a final round of two-over 74 to end the regulation 54 holes tied at the top of the leaderboard along with Sanjeev Kumar (72-70-72) and Lakshya Nagar (68-72-74) at a total score of two-under 214. In the three-way playoff, Lakshya crashed out of the contest after making a bogey on the first extra hole. Thereafter, on the second extra hole, Amrit\u2019s consistency helped him prevail as he made par once again, while Sanjeev conceded a bogey to fall short.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Amrit then endured a few stutters thanks to a few erratic tee shots and approach shots that resulted in four bogeys for him on the back nine. He managed just one birdie on the back nine thanks to a 12-foot conversion on the 15th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Finally, Amrit kept his composure on the two playoff holes to come home the champion, even as his rivals, Lakshya and Sanjeev, dropped bogeys to finish joint runners-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cI was actually encouraged by making the cut on the main tour a couple of weeks back after a long injury-affected spell. My injured left thumb caused me a lot of problems for a long period, and that affected my performance. But thanks to the help extended by Dr. Vishal Gautam, I managed to fully recover from the injury some time back. I would also like to thank my fitness coach, Mr. Sagar Diwan, for all his support and guidance.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
