Bangladesh’s hotshot golfer Siddikur Rahman finished second in the US$400,000 Panasonic Open India as he was one shot behind the maiden Asian Tour (AT) title winner, a local talent, Khalin Joshi on the final day at Delhi Golf Club’s course on Sunday.
Two-time AT winner 33-year-old Siddikur signed for a three-under-par 69 in the final round where he was highlighted by four birdies against one dismal bogey, considerably the title losing cause, at his favourite par-72 course measuring 6,935 yards.
Siddikur started his campaign in the flagship, sharing second slot after signing for a bogey-free five-under 67 in the first round before grabbing a one shot joint lead with Thai talent Suradit Yongcharoenchai carding a six-under 66 at the halfway stage.
Delhi expert Siddikur maintained the same margin, joint lead with Joshi, after the penultimate round carding a two-under-par 70 and finally aggregated 16-under 271 [67-66-70-69] to finish the second.
