Arjun Atwal earned a spot in $7 million Honda Classic golf tournament after coming through the toughest Monday Qualifier on the PGA Tour at the Banyan Bay Resort in West Palm Beach.

Atwal, who had won the 2010 Wyndham Championship after Monday qualifying, shot a 67 but three others had carded 66s and four spots were up for grabs.

Canada’s Adam Svensson also shot a 67, so there was a play-off, and Atwal came up trumps after chipping in for an eagle to grab the last spot.

Atwal finished his final round in Puerto Rico on Sunday and took a flight out to Florida to play the Monday Qualifier.

Monday Qualifiers are a really long shot at getting into a tournament, let alone win it. The entry costs $450 and a lot of heartbreaks. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
