Chandradasa fourth in Pakistan Open Golf Sri Lanka's Tissa Chandardasa had a gross 287 to finish fourth at the 44th Pakistan Amateur Golf Championships concluded at Lahore Gymkhana Club course on Monday. Chandradasa never recovered from the first two unimpressive round he had to finish with 72,72,71,72. Fancied Pakistan champion Shahid Javed Khan lived upto expectations to retain the title with an impressive four-day aggregate seven-under-par-281. Khan, who led the event from day one, posted a card of one-under-71 (34,37) on the final day to underline his superiority. Khan played a key role in Pakistan's victory in the international team championship and J.R. Jayewardene Trophy which was part of this event. Reports from Lahore said that Khan started the fourth and final day with a slim lead of one stroke against compatriot Aimal Zaman but had increased it to three strokes, despite playing sluggishly at the back nine holes. He completed the first round at three-under-par-34, having three birdies and one bogey. However, he did not fare well at the back nine and carded it without a birdie, but two bogeys. Zaman faced tough opposition from Indian Vikrant Chopra till the last hole before retaining second spot with an aggregate of four-under-284. In fact, the fourth day had the attraction of close fight between Zaman and Chopra. |
