LAHORE – After two rounds of accurate shot making and some good work around, Shahid Abbas emerged as the triumphant golfer in the 36 holes stroke play contest at the Royal Palm Golf and Country Club. And this he did by keeping experienced opponents like Amir Mehmood, Sardar Murad, Mohsin Zafar and Shoaib Bokhari away from the prestigious Royal Palm Champion Golf Title. For him it turned out to be an individual feat of prowess which is bound to encourage him to spend regular hours at the golf course to seek more honors during 2011. In the final,
Amir Mehmood did make a charge to dislodge Shahid but ultimately found Shahid a determined competitor who did not break and towards the closing holes matched him stroke for stroke, never letting up on his seven stroke advantage of the earlier session. Shahid ended up the championship with an aggregate gross score of 157 followed by Amir Mehmood at 162, Mohsin at 165 and Sardar also at 165.
