2nd President PGA Open Golf: Dynamic Ahmed Baig Sets Pace
In the 2nd President Punjab Golf Association Professional Golf Championship 2024 being contested at the Defence Raya Golf Course in Lahore, 100 top golf professionals completed their first round yesterday. The second round proceedings will continue on Wednesday, 17th May.
By applying his golfing expertise to perfection Ahmed Baig surfaced as the leader after a commanding performance in the first round of this three rounds Golf Championship which carries a prize money of seven million rupees.
During the course of the tumultuous golf playing round on Tuesday, this star of the national golf circuit excelled in the area of tee shot making on par fours and par fives and on the shorter par three holes, rewardingly accurate were his approach shots which mostly yielded birdies or regulation pars. Throughout the eighteen holes every playing aspect was pristine and impeccable for the champion. Regulation pars adorned his card on eleven holes and as for the other seven, they were all birdied. This effort gives him a commanding score of gross 65, seven under par.
Though Ahmed Baigs effort shines and gleams, another one looking marvellous is Muhammed Alam of Lahore Garrison. Through a formidable show of high quality golf, he compiled a score of gross 66, six under par and by virtue of this admirable effort, he is placed one stroke behind Ahmed Baig.
Another champion with enormous aspirations is Minhaj Maqsood from Rawalpindi. His overall effort has been admirable and is certainly resolute about his performance with a score of gross 69.
