Golfer Ajeetesh tied second in Malaysian ADT event
Kuala Lumpur: Indian golfer Ajeetesh Sandhu finished the opening round in tied second spot after he fired four-under 67 in the weather-interrupted PGM MIDF KLGCC Championship here on Wednesday.
Local player M. Sasidaran grabbed the lead with 65 at the $50,0000 Asian Development Tour (ADT) event with Ajeetesh and Thai Poom Saksansin tied second.
Ajeetesh scored birdies on the ninth, 10th, 12th and 14th in a flawless round at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club East course, which is the second last stop on the 2015 ADT schedule.
Malaysian Sasidaran picked seven birdies against one bogey for his best score on the ADT this year. Defending champion Rizal Amin of Malaysia posted a disappointing six-over 77 to sit in tied 44th.
The 39-year-old Sasidaran, who is looking for a first ADT win, opened with four birdies in six holes before the play was suspended due to lightning threats for close to two hours.
A total of 66 players will return on Thursday morning to complete the first round.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
