TOKYO, Apr 22 (AFP): Indian veteran Rahil Gangjee held his nerve to win the Panasonic Open in Japan on Sunday by a single stroke, his first Asian Tour victory in 14 years.
The 39-year-old claimed the winner's blue jacket at the 150-million-yen ($1.4 million) tournament by sinking a birdie at the last hole at the Ibaraki Country Club near Osaka.
His final round 68 gave him a four-day total of 14-under-par 270.
Gangjee began the final day tied for second and one shot behind South Korea's Kim Hyung-sung.
