Calcutta: Lakshman Singh annexed his second All-India Seniors Golf title with a four-stroke come-from-behind victory over overnight leader and defending champion Vikramjit Singh at the RCGC on Friday.

Lakshman had a 77 for a three-round total of 230, while Vikramjit ballooned to an 84 and a total of 234.

This year’s championship was presented by The Telegraph and Eveready.

Former RCGC captain Ashit Luthra 238 made steady progress up the leader board to finish a creditable third one stroke ahead of K. K. Bajoria and five ahead of another former great Ashok Malik.

Malik, however, had the consolation of being victorious in the over-65 age-group Super Senior category.

Sudeep Chitlangia made it a memorable day for city golfers when he strolled to victory in the inaugural Mid-Amateur championship with a total of 296, 24 strokes better than second-placed Gaurav Ghosh.

The best nett score was won by Sanjay Sanwal who had a creditable total of 210 playing off a 12 handicap.
