AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT
Glade One, Ahmedabad, set in place opportunities for 9 hole courses to host PGTI events in a new 54 hole format in which the first two rounds are played over 9 holes only after which a cut is applied.
34-year-old Om Prakash Chouhan of Mhow shot 35-33-64-67 (-17, 199) to clinch his first title since the Tata Open in Dec 2018 and make amends for his heartbreaking loss the week before at Kalhaar.
