FIRST ASIAN TOUR TITLE FOR VETERAN MUKESH
NEW DELHI: Local veteran Mukesh Kumar completed a wire-to-wire victory at the weather-shortened Panasonic Open India to claim his first Asian Tour title by one shot at the Delhi Golf Club (DGC) here on Sunday. Mukesh, who had a two-shot advantage heading into the third and final round, closed with a two-under-par 70 for a winning total of 10-under-par 206 at the $400,000 Asian Tour event, which was earlier reduced to 54 holes due to fog disruptions. This victory made him the oldest winner on the Asian Tour at the age of 51 years and 126 days. Indian duo Jyoti Randhawa and Rashid Khan closed with matching 68s to share second place.
