Mamat wins Bashundhara Golf Open

Veteran Singapore golfer Mardan Mamat capped a dominant performance over the four days to win the inaugural Bashundhara Bangladesh Golf Open by two strokes in the city Saturday, reports AFP.
The 47-year-old, who said he was inspired by an encouraging message from his wife Naz, shot a two-under-par 69 to finish with a combined score of 14-under 270 at the Kurmitola Golf Club.
It was Mamat's fifth Asian Tour title, which earned him the winner's purse of $54,000 after he led in all four rounds of the $300,000 event in the Bangladeshi capital.
Khalin Joshi of India shot a 68 in the final round to end with 272 and tie for second place with Lee Soo-Min of South Korea, who posted a 67 on the last day.
Mamat, keeping himself composed in the stifling heat, bogeyed the fourth hole to have his overnight lead of three shots reduced by one, but then stayed on course to claim what he said was a "special win".
