Sachin Baisoya trumps Udayan Mane in playoff to win Indorama Ventures Open Golf Championship

Ahmedabad, Apr 12 (UNI) Delhi’s Sachin Baisoya, who began the final day seven shots behind the lead in tied fifth place, registered a classic come-from-behind victory as he trumped Pune’s Udayan Mane in a playoff after posting the day’s best score of four-under 68 to lift the trophy at the Rs 2 crore Indorama Ventures Open Golf Championship played at the Kalhaar Blues & Greens Golf Club here on saturday.
The 29-year-old Sachin Baisoya (68-71-70-68), who had decided not to play this week’s event due to his father’s ill health before being persuaded by the latter to tee it up in Ahmedabad, was tied at the top along with 34-year-old Udayan Mane (69-65-68-75) at a total of 11-under 277 at the end of the regulation 72 holes.
Mane, the overnight leader by two shots, returned a last round of 75 after dropping five strokes on the last six holes that also saw Baisoya rise into contention.
Sachin fared better in negotiating the tricky pin position on the playoff hole (Par-4 18th) as he made par with a two-putt, even as Udayan conceded a fatal bogey on the same hole. Baisoya, who has so far won both playoffs he has been a part of, thus recorded his fourth professional victory.
The winner’s cheque worth Rs30 lakh catapulted Sachin, who hails from the Delhi Golf Club, from 11th place to second position in the PGTI Order of Merit. Baisoya’s earnings for the season now read Rs 44,65,650.
Khalin Joshi of Bengaluru carded a 74 on Saturday to finish third at 10-under 278.
Faridabad’s Abhinav Lohan struck a fourth round of 72 to secure fourth place at nine-under 279. Abhinav was a prime contender for the title when he joined Udayan in the lead on the back nine in round four. However, a late bogey and double-bogey put him out of contention.
Local lad Varun Parikh (69) of Ahmedabad and Chandigarh’s Ajeetesh Sandhu (71) finished tied fifth at eight-under 280.
Sachin Baisoya made steady progress through the day to climb up the leaderboard. Sachin garnered three birdies and a bogey on the front nine, two of his birdies coming as a result of long conversions. Baisoya then pushed ahead with an exceptional approach on the 10th and a massive 35-foot conversion on the 11th that earned him two more birdies. He finally capitalized on his good putting form with two well-read putts on the playoff hole that won him the title.
Olympian Udayan Mane, a winner of 12 titles and former PGTI Order of Merit champion, was well on course to victory after making three birdies and a bogey over the first 12 holes. However, in a dramatic late twist, Udayan conceded two double-bogeys and a bogey over the last six holes that took the match into a playoff.
