Jakartan wins golf Circuit meet

JAKARTA (JP): Seasoned Jakarta Golf Club player Ilyas Syak
won the Jakarta Golf Circuit by three strokes yesterday after
carding a four-day total of 1 over 289 (71 73 72 73) at the posh
Sawangan layout yesterday.

Despite the win, it was Indonesia's rising amateur golfer
Denny Supriadi who stole the limelight when he won the amateur
competition by collecting even par 288 (70 73 72 73), one stroke
ahead of Ilyas.

Supriadi played the pivotal role for Indonesia in retaining
Asia's most coveted tournament trophy -- the Putra Cup --
competed at the Bumi Serpong Damai layout. The winning Indonesian
team in the Putra Cup was made up of Sukamdi, Bahtiar and Burhan.

Unchallenged from the tee-off and spurred with constant play
throughout the round, Ilyas, despite closing the round yesterday
with 1 over 73, did enough to grab the top prize worth Rp
6,750,000 (US$3,150).

Maan Naasim, Sumarno and Gimin Suwiryo, the country's leading
pro golfers were bunched at second each with a 292. They pocketed
Rp 2,090 000 each.

The circuit is organized especially for local golfers --
professional and amateur alike. It is held annually and contested
over three major golf courses in Jakarta and its surrounding
areas.

From Sawangan, located near Bogor, the circuit competition
will move to Ancol in North Jakarta, from Aug. 5 to 9, before
being played at the Halim Two course in East Jakarta for its
third and final leg.
