Indian golfer Veer Ahlawat fired a two-over 74 to take the runners-up trophy at the MCB Indian Ocean Amateur Golf Open at the Heritage Golf Club here.
Another Indian in the fray, Bengaluru's Jaibir Singh finished ninth after submitting a card of three-over 75 in a competition that had 53 players from Mauritius, Reunion Island, South Africa, Switzerland and France in a 54-hole stroke play event.
Ahlawat, 19, who finished secnd at the 2015 IGU Kerala Amateur, had a poor start to his final day and was four-over after three holes.
However, he got his game together to finish the round at two-over for the total of four-over 220. The 25-year-old golfer, Jaibir who was part of the victorious Indian team of the 12th SAARC Team Championship in June this year, put in his best score of the week of three-over for the total of 17-over 233.
South African Paul Boshoff adapted his game to compensate for an injured knee to score a scintillating three-under 69 for a total of two-under 214 to clinch the winner's trophy.
