Top Indian amateur golfers to vie for honours:
The Digboi Golf Course will soon be the focus of attention of the country’s golf fans as it prepares for the second event of the 2007-08 PGTI season, the Indian Oil Xtra Premium Masters 2007, scheduled to be held from November 15 to 18.
The Indian Oil Xtra Premium Masters has the potential of producing a great finish as there are a number of contenders for the title.
Defending champion and 2006-07 PGTI Order of Merit winner Ashok Kumar will be looking to repeat his last performance here. In the last edition of this event, Ashok Kumar emerged victorious by a handsome margin of six strokes as his final score read fourteen-under par 274.
The joint runners-up Vikrant Chopra and Shamim Khan finished with scores of eight-under 280.
One golfer giving everyone a run for their money would be Digvijay Singh. He is currently placed second behind Lam Chih Bing on the PGTI Order of Merit, and seems to be gaining momentum with every passing tournament.
Digvijay could present one of the toughest challenges to defending champion Ashok Kumar since he seems to have found form with a runners-up finish at the BILT Open 2007 and a tied 14th place finish on the Asian Tour’s Pertamina Indonesia President Invitational.
Another professional breathing down the defending champion’s neck would be the other runner-up at the last edition of the tournament Shamim Khan.
