Rahul Bajaj finished with a four-day total of level par 288 to win the LG Jaypee amateur golf tournament here at the Jaypee Greens Golf Resort here on Friday. This is his first amateur title.
He was a one-shot winner over Gagan Verma (289), while Manav Das (290) finished third.
Bajaj submitted a card of two-over 74, courtesy of a bogey on the final hole. Yet, he stayed ahead of Verma, who began the day a stroke ahead and his day's score of four-over 76 did not help him either. Das submitted the only sub-card of 1-under 71 to finish third at 290.
