Thai rookie clinches title

Thai rookie Sadom Kaewkanjana lifted the US$ 350,000-Bangabandhu Cup Golf Open title on Saturday, carding nineteen-under-par 265 total to hold off the challenge of two Indians, both of who briefly overtook him in the closing stages of round four, reports UNB.
But Kaewkanjana came back to regain the lead on the penultimate hole of the day, and in the end, probably had to thank the sensational 62 he shot in round two, the best round of the tournament, in seeing off Ajeetesh Sandhu (266) and Rashid Khan (267), who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. Just three shots separated the top 03.
Bangladesh's Siddikur Rahman started the day on fourth. Eventually he finished tied for 12th carding eight-under-par 276 total after four rounds.
It also meant Zamal Mollah, for the 2nd successive year, finished highest in the table among Bangladeshis, although this year's uninspiring tie for 10th can never compare to his exciting run in finishing 4th in 2018.
Among others Bangladeshi, Sajib Ali and Akbar Hossain ended respectively in 18th and 19th slots carding seven-under-par scoring 277 each. Md Nazim ended in 25th slot, Badal Hossain in 32nd, Muaj Mohammad in 37th, Shakhawat Sohel in 64th. Md M Sayum clinched 65th slot while Md Nur Jamal ended in 66th. Shah Alam Mohammad and Dil Mohammad concluded the event respectively in 67th, 68th and 69th positions.
In the top-ten list, Australia's Maverick Antcliff remained in his 4th spot carding twelve-under-par 272 total after the round four (63, 70, 69, 70).
