JAKARTA: Gunasegaran of Malaysia defended his championship
title at the Taman Dayu-Sonni Putri Open golf tournament in
Pandaan, East Java, after he carded six-under-par 66 in the final
day on Friday.

Gunasegaran scored a total of eight-under-par 280 (69-75-70-
66) in four days of the tournament to win the top cash prize of
Rp 34 million, out of the total Rp 200 million (US$21,600) up for

His 66 turned out to be a new course record, a feat that
entitled him an extra Rp 10 million provided by a sponsor.

"Today seems a lucky day for me. My putting, driving and
second tries all worked well," Gunasegaran, who hails from
Selangor, said in a release.

Teammate Mohammad Shaaban Hussin, who booked an overall three-
under-par 285, finished in second place followed by the
Indonesian duo of Sukamdi and Ilyasak, who tied in third for a 2-
over-par 290. --JP
