Key Factors
I was happy with the way I played personally and with the pairing I had with Himmat Rai. And I was delighted with how the rest of our team played. As luck would have it, Prometheans will face Regals in the final league round. Charminar Champions will take on bottom-of-the-standings Kolkata Classic, while Rajasthan Regals will be challenged by Nava Raipur. Mumbai Aces will face UP Prometheans.
UP captain Shaurya Bhattacharya, who paired with Himmat Rai to beat Khalin Joshi and Ajay Baisoya 4&3 in the fourballs, said: “It was a really good day. “We were all square after 10 holes, after leading through the turn. Then Himmat made a clutch putt on the 11th hole for a birdie from 12 feet on the 11th to halve the hole, and we felt that changed the momentum completely towards our side. The fourth round of the league will be played on March 2 at Classic Golf & Country Club.
