Anura Rohana, the silver medal winner in Seoul Asian Games 2002, continued to fly the Sri Lankan flag high on the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) by winning the Pune Open.
Rohana won the Pune Open Golf Championship 2017, at the Poona Club Golf Course, a significant event in the PGTI Calendar annually.
Rohana lying in joint 6th place after 3 Rounds at 4 under par, fired a brilliant last round of 65 (6 under par) to come from behind and win by a clear 2 strokes from Khalin Joshi.
The overnight leader and multiple winner on the PGTI, Mukesh Kumar the leader after Round 3, was over hauled by Anura Rohana to clinch his second PGTI Win , since winning the BLIT Open at Delhi Golf Club in 2015.
Rohana, climbed the Rolex PGTI Rankings too with the win, to be ranked # 4, at present.
The consistency of Rohana on the PGTI, has largely gone unnoticed, but the recent signing up of Anura Rohana by SoftLogic Life as the Travel and Tour sponsor in early 2017, has apparently motivated him to clinch Victory in a very competitive Professional Golf Tour of India.
The magnificence of Anura Rohana’s win cannot be over emphasized, since the standard of Indian Pro Golf ranks among the best in the South Asian Region and for a foreigner to win on Indian soil is anyway a challenge with the home advantage stacked in favour of the local golfers.
Sri Lankan golfers N. Thangaraja finished at 27th with 288 points while K. Prabagaran ended up at 32nd with 289 points.
