Had chouhan

Former DP World PGTI Order: Seasoned Om Prakash Chouhan produced a late flourish to outclass his rivals and seize his 12th professional win on the final day of the Rs 1.5 crore Players Championship played at the Tollygunge Club in Kolkata.

Om Prakash Chouhan (69-67-64-64), who was overnight tied-third and one shot off the lead, delivered a six-under 64 in round four to take his tournament total to 16-under 264 and secure his first win in over two years.

The 39-year-old Chouhan’s last-day performance featuring eight birdies and two bogeys saw him walk away with the winning cheque worth Rs 22,50,000. Om Prakash, who hails from Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, but is attached with the Kalhaar Blues & Greens golf course in Ahmedabad, climbed from 16th to fourth position in the PGTI Order of Merit as a result of his victory.
