RORY HOLDS OFF RASHID TO CLAIM GOLF C’SHIP WIN

Gurugram, Sept. 15: A bogey on the 15th tee cost Rashid Khan the Classic Golf & Country Club International Championship title as Indonesia’s Rory Hie claimed the honours here on Sunday.

The title enabled Rory, who first played in India at the same club 10 years ago, end his long winless streak. Rory, once the world's no. 6 amateur, carded a final round of 68 to total 21-under 267 while Rashid, who last won on the Asian Tour in 2014, carded 69 to finish at 19under 269 alongside little known Korean Byungjun Kim (67).

It was a start to finish win for Rory, who becomes the first Indonesian winner on the Asian Tour. But for a few moments on the back nine, Rory was headed by Kim before he, Kim and Rashid briefly formed a trio at top at 19-under. Rory had two birdies to sneak ahead.
