PGTI NexGen: Chowrasia Claims Back-to-back Titles With Victory In Vijay Kumar Memorial
PGTI NexGen Vijay Kumar Memorial: The 31-year-old Sunit Chowrasia of Kolkata carded a final-round one-under 69 to secure a three-shot victory at the inaugural INR 25 lakh PGTI NexGen Vijay Kumar Memorial played at the Lucknow Golf Club in Lucknow on Thursday.
Chowrasia (70-62-69), the nephew of Indian golfing stalwart SSP Chawrasia, entered the final day with a two-shot advantage following his bogey-free eight-under 62 in round two and closed the week at nine-under 201 to lift the trophy.
The victory marked the Kolkata golfer's second title of the season and his second consecutive win on the DP World PGTI NexGen, having also triumphed at the Alpha Sports Academy Golf Championship hosted by Patna Golf Club in March before the DP World PGTI NexGen tour's two-month break.
