Chandigarh, January 4

Panchkula’s Zubin Nijhawan and Kochi’s Madesh Krishna shot an identical 2-under 70 to lead the opening round of the PGTI’s Pre-Qualifying (I) for the 2020 season, at the Kensville Golf & Country Club, near Ahmadabad, today.

Nijhawan’s card included four birdies and two bogeys, while Krishna traded five birdies for three bogeys.

Mumbai-based Akash Modi occupied the third place at 1-under 71. Noida’s Manpreet Mann and Mhow-based Sumeet Choudhary shared the 4th spot at par 72.

Out of a total field of 98, the top 26 players and ties will qualify for the final qualifying stage. There are three pre-qualifying events in total.

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).
