Madaiah shatters course record

PUNE, FEB. 10. After the favourites cornered glory on the first two days, unfancied Vinod Kumar shot into a one-stroke lead after the penultimate round of the Rs.10 lakh Hero Honda Open West golf championship here on Thursday.

In an eventful round, the 24-year-old fired eight birdies, missed four eagles and made four bogeys to submit a card of four-under 67 for a 54-hole total of 10-under 203.

Overnight leader Mukesh Kumar was off-colour, registering a card of one-under par 70.

But it was Bangalore lad S. Madaiah, whose eight-under 63 shattered the course record of seven-under, who hogged the limelight. He was placed third.

Arjun Singh played a level-par round of 71 to be in the fourth spot, while Ranjit Singh and Vijay Kumar were tied for the fifth place. Gurbaaz Mann was seventh at 208 while Gaurav Diwan and Shiv Kapur shared the eighth position with a total of 209.

Vinod Kumar, who has led only once during the Hero Honda Open South three years ago, will have to hold his nerve to win his first title on the Amby Valley PGAI Tour. — PTI
