Chawrasia claims 3rd Euro Tour title at Indian Open

SSP Chawrasia staved off the challenge of compatriot Anirban Lahiri and South Korean Wang Jeung-hun to end a run of second-place finishes by winning his home Indian Open for his third European Tour title yesterday.

Chawrasia had finished second at the Asian Tour co-sanctioned event four times, including a playoff defeat to Lahiri last year. Yet the 37-year-old, who won the 2008 Indian Masters and the Panasonic Open India on the Asian Tour two years ago at the Delhi Golf Club, held his nerve for a final-round 1-under-par 71 to claim victory by two shots, finishing with a four-day total of 15 under while South Korean Wang and Lahiri finished on 13 under. The win allowed Chawrasia to reclaim his European Tour playing privileges, which he lost last season after finishing 113th in the Race to Dubai.
