Bangladeshi celebrated golfer Siddikur Rahman returned to the winning note clinching the inaugural US$60,000 City Bank American Express Dhaka Open Golf title carding two-under-par 70 in the 4th and final round at Kurmitola Golf Course here on Saturday.
The 33-year-old golfer took the advantage of his home course knowledge as he shot a two-under-par 70 to win his second Asian Development Tour (ADT) title at the Kurmitola Golf Course after his maiden ADT crown in 2011.
Sweden’s Malcolm Kokocinski posted a 67 to finish the second while Shankar Das of India, who was trailing overnight leader Siddikur by two shots, settled for third after returning with a disappointing 73.
Siddikur ended a five-year title drought following his second Asian Tour win at the 2013 Hero Indian Open. Since then, he has struggled with a serious back injury but believes this victory will provide an extra spring in his step ahead of a busy 2018 Asian Tour Schedule.
Siddikur, who aggregated 12-under-par 204 in the 3rd round on Friday finished with an aggregate of 14-under-par (68, 66, 70 70) 274 to win the title as well as to receive a prize money of US Dollar 10,000.
