Shiv Kapur wins Jeev Milkha Invitational meet

CHANDIGARH: Shiv Kapur prevailed over Rashid Khan in a playoff at the Rs. 1.5 crore Jeev Milkha Singh Invitational 2021 to register his first-ever win at a PGTI event. The tournament was decided in a playoff for the fourth year in succession. The Dubai-based Kapur (64-68-67-70), who originally hails from Delhi and Khan (65-67-69-68), another Delhi golfer, were in a deadlock at 19-under 269 at the top of the leaderboard after regulation play, having shot final rounds of 70 and 68 respectively at the Chandigarh Golf Club. Olympian Udayan Mane (69-68-67-67) took third place at 17-under 271 after returning a second straight 67. Kapur, a six-time international winner who also has two previous wins on the Indian domestic tour to his name, came up with a brilliant second shot from the rough to make a two-putt for par on the playoff hole (18th hole) even as two-time Asian Tour winner Rashid hit his second shot into the water which effectively ended his challenge.
