Shabbir wins 18th Bank Alfalah Open Golf C’ship
Peshawar—Shabbir clinched the trophy of the 18th
Bank Alfalah Frontier Open Golf Championship played here at
6666-yard PAF Golf Course here on Sunday.
Shabbir added 70, 2 under to his over night 133 on last day to make
13 under par 203 over 54 holes. He carded 66+67+70 as he scored
three birdies and two bogies.The pin placing was hard enough as it
was at the edge of the greens but the professionals showed
continuity to their round except Talib Hussain of POF, who scored 3
birdies, double bogies at 10, par-4 and 12, par 5 besides missing a
stroke on 6th occasions.
He slipped badly from second position to eight but it was not
exceptional in golf as the game known for such happenings. One good
stroke could enable a golfer to reach at top but a bad shot
certainly drop other from top to bottom, Shabbir told APP. Staying
in the top is perhaps the most difficult of all, he added.
Shahid Javed Khan of Royal Palm took second position with his three
day score 210, six under par. Shahid carded 69+70+71. In his last
day round of 71, Shahid carded 34, two under at front nine and 37,
one over at back nine with three birdies and two bogies.
Nawab Afridi with his total score 73+69+70=212, four under par by
making three birdies and a bogy. Ansar Mehmood of Navy, Matloob
Ahmad shared fourth position with their score 213, three under par,
