Gani qualifies for Indian PGA Tour

NEW DELHI JULY 16. Watch out Indian pros. Golfers from the sub-continent are getting better!

A few years after the Professional Golfers' Association of India (PGAI) had decided to make Bangladesh and Nepal as the regular venues on the Indian domestic circuit, golfers from that region are picking up.

Nurul Islam Gani of Bangladesh surprised one and all with his consistent display over four days and emerged winner of the PGAI Qualifying School event for the 2002-03 season. Gani had a winning tally of five-over 289, which earned him Rs. 12,000.

The event was conducted at the par-71 Rambagh Golf Club, Jaipur. The top-34 players in the event earned exemptions to play on the Indian PGA tour.

Delhi's Balbir Singh Verma finished second at 290, while Bangalore's S. Madhaiah and Chennai's S. Murthy finished joint third at 291.
