Published on: 

India’s Chirag Kumar produced a sedate two-under 70 in the final round to clinch the $400,000 Panasonic Open India, his maiden Asian Tour victory, by three strokes at the Delhi Golf Course.

Chirag produced three birdies against a lone bogey to end the tournament with a four-day aggregate of 13-under 275, three shots ahead of Thailand’s Thaworn Wiratchant (69) and Bangladesh’s Siddikur Rahman at 10-under 278.

Chirag parred the first four holes before stumbling on a bogey at the fifth. But he made amends with a birdie at the eight hole. On his way back, he picked up a couple of strokes at the 11th and 13th holes to hold on to his overnight lead.
