Angad lifts trophy, takes home Rs.15 lakh
Chandigarh, Aug. 9 -- Angad Cheema from Chandigarh continued from where he left at the PGTI's mid-season break. Angad, the winner of the last event in the first half of the season, made it back-to-back titles after he lifted the trophy in the first event of the season's second half, the Rs.1 crore Coal India Open 2025, played at the Kensville Golf and Country Club in Ahmedabad.
Angad Cheema (69-67-69-70) fired a two-under 70 in round four to end up with a week's total of 13-under 275. It was the 35-year-old Cheema's fourth PGTI win and second triumph of the season. Angad took home the winner's cheque worth Rs.15 lakh that lifted him from 10th to second position in the PGTI Order of Merit as his season's earnings went to Rs.55,56,726.
Noida's Amardeep Malik (69-65-72-73) signed for a one-over 73 in the final round to secure a runner-up finish.
Angad Cheema, the overnight leader by one shot, built on his lead over the front-nine on Friday by accumulating four birdies in exchange for a bogey. Then on the back-nine, Angad's two long birdie conversions from a range of 15 to 25 feet saw him home despite his three dropped shots on the 12th and 17th.
Angad, who drew on his experience of playing the qualifying event of The Open this summer in the UK, said, "It was a brilliant week as I played well from start to finish and did not make many mistakes. I'd say I just ended up putting better than others. I made some long conversions in every round. I would like to give credit for my great putting this week to my caddie Khushi Ram who gave me the correct lines and speed on the greens."
