Kathmandu, May 17

Surya Nepal Premier Golf Championship, the biggest and final event of the season, is beginning at the Gokarna Golf Club on Saturday.

It carries the highest cash purse of Rs 1.2 million and golfers are eagerly waiting for the tournament which is an important for golfers as it affects the Order of Merit.

The golfers have already started their preparations for the biggest event of the Surya Nepal Golf Tour 2017-18. No 1 pro Shivaram Shrestha and second ranked Bhuwan Nagarkoti are in the race to finish first in Order of Merit.

It will not be easy for both of them as the field has been strengthened by the arrival of Nepali professional golfers, who have been honing their skills abroad.

Toran Bikram Shahi is one of them. Shahi has been plying his trades in the Indian golf since 1998 and is a regular pro in the Professional Golf Tour of India since 2007. Shahi, currently affiliated to Classic Golf and Country Club in Delhi, has been giving private lessons to professional golfers and his students in India.

Toran had won Kailash Team Open in 2007, a year before the Surya Nepal Golf Tour began. He won Surya Nepal NPGA Tour Championship in 2014 for his second career title.

In India, Toran has played a total of 143 events of PGTI since 2007. Another contender, Dhana Bahadur Thapa will be eyeing a good finish to finish third in Order of Merit.

De Villiers and Moeen inspire Bangalore to victory

Indian Premier League, IPL, Royal Challengers Bangalore, AB de Villiers

BENGALURU: Kane Williamson’s 81 off 42 balls proved in vain as Royal Challengers Bangalore won a run-fest against Sunrisers Hyderabad to keep its Indian Premier League playoff bid alive on Thursday.

AB de Villiers scored 69 and Moeen Ali made 65 to power Bangalore to 218-6. Hyderabad then stayed in the game until the last over before finishing on 204-3 to lose by 14 runs.

Put into bat in a must-win game, Bangalore lost openers Parthiv Patel and Virat Kohli cheaply but De Villiers and Moeen added 107 off 57 balls for the third wicket.

Rashid Khan (3-27), who clean bowled Kohli earlier, got rid of De Villiers and Moeen before Colin de Grandhomme (40) blasted one four and four sixes in 17 balls.

“It was a crazy game of cricket and we pulled through. I look to put pressure on the bowlers and take it forward if I get one or two (sixes) away,” said man-of-the-match De Villiers.

In reply, Shikhar Dhawan (18) and Alex Hales (37) provided a solid platform for Hyderabad.

The score was 64-2 after eight overs when Moeen dismissed England teammate Hales thanks to a brilliant flying catch by De Villiers at deep mid-wicket.

Williamson took over and caressed his way to a quickfire half-century. Overall, he hit seven fours and five sixes while Manish Pandey kept him company with 62 not out off 38 balls in a stand of 135 for the third wicket.

Williamson finally holed out to fine leg off the first ball of the final over and Pandey was unable to take his side home.

“We missed a trick with the ball. Bangalore were brilliant with the bat and put us under pressure from ball one,” said Williamson.

Hyderabad has already qualified for the playoffs but needs to win on Saturday against Kolkata Knight Riders to finish top of the standings.

Bangalore must win against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday to have any hope of making it to the playoffs on run-rate.

“Hats off to the bowlers for keeping composure and giving us two points. We head to Jaipur with momentum on our side. Teams don’t want us to win. We sense fear and pounce,” said Kohli.
