Calcutta: Vishesh Khanna capitalised the most of his foes’ follies and scripted a brilliant comeback victory to win the Tollygunge Junior, the eighth and final leg of the Tata Steel IGU East Zone Junior/ Sub-Junior Tour, which concluded at the Tollygunge Club, here on Tuesday.

Trailing by three shots overnight, and by four shots until the 16th hole in the final round, Vishesh hit a jackpot with overnight joint-leader Sunit Chowrasia hitting ‘out of bounds’ twice and making a quadruple bogey and then missing a small par-putt on the 18th to surrender the title.

Vishesh, who ended up with a two-day total of 15-over 155, managed to scrape past Sunit just by a solitary shot and emerge victorious.

Viraj Khanna finished third at 159 while the other overnight joint leader Raj Ali was fourth at 161.

Raj Ali had the consolation of finishing as the winner in Category B while Nishkarsh was the runner-up. Yashvardhan Sarda finished third with Udayjit Bhalotia occupying the fourth position. Rohan Agarwal was fifth.

The Category C honours was captured by Hashan Rahman with Bibek Sardar finishing second.

Sandeep Yadav topped in Category D with Rajib Ali ending up second and Divij Sehgal in third place. Kaushal Bagrodia emerged as the winner in Category E with Pranshu Poddar in second position. Chitragandha Singh was the winner in the girls ‘D’ category.

Sourav Ganguly and Farzan R Heerjee, Corporate Relations Chief, Office of the MD, Tata Steel, were present at the prize distribution ceremony.
