The Pin Fernando Grand Prix (PFGP) September 2017 edition witnessed an enthralling finish at the RCGC, when J MD Indika, lying in second place after 3 rounds, three strokes behind N. Amarapadma, the leader from Round 1, fired a brilliant 3 under par in the final round playing alongside Amarapadma, to snatch victory, virtually on the post.
The CAT SOLAR powered Pin Fernando Grand Prix September edition had 67 starters and the cut-off was implemented at 166 with 28 golfers making the cut.
The scores were not outstanding affirming the fact that conditions were tough but nonetheless, the top 3 finishers proved their metal with the eventual winner Indika 3 under par over 72 holes and runner-up N. Amarapadma one stroke behind on 2 under par for the 4 rounds.
The overall Pin Fernando Grand Prix Rankings Table leader, BA Sanjeewa, finished with a flourish shooting a three under par final round to maintain 3rd place going into the last round.
The top 3 finishers in the CAT SOLAR powered PFGP underlined their consistency with the fact that all three have qualified and invited to participate in the Asia Pacific Amateur Golf Championship for the top ranked amateur golfers in the WAGR (World Amateur Golf Ranking) conducted by R & A, the world renowned governing body of golf in the United Kingdom.
Annually the APAGC is conducted with the international participation of the WAGR top ranked players and this year the feature event is scheduled from October 23-30, in Wellington, New Zealand.
