Vijay and Digvijay to clash in semi-final
Our Sports Reporter

New Delhi, April 16
Defending champion and second seed Vijay Kumar set up an interesting semi-final clash against sixth-seeded Digvijay Singh at the Rs 10 lakh SRF All-India Matchplay Championship at the Delhi Golf Club course on Friday. Yusuf Ali conceded the match after the sixth hole to hand Vijay a semi-final berth, while Digvijay beat Lucknow’s Sanjay Kumar 3 and 2.

The other semi-final will be between ninth seeded Rafiq Ali and Jumman of Lucknow. Rafiq had a 6 and 5 pre-quarter win over Delhi’s Ali Sher while Jumman beat Shamim Khan of Delhi on the 19th hole.

Third and fourth seeds, Arjun Singh of Delhi and Mukesh Kumar of Mhow, were shown the door by 14th seed Sanjay Kumar and 45th seed Devendra Patel of Mhow respectively. Vijay and Digvijay had contrasting wins en route to the semi-finals. The players were required to play both the pre-quarters and the semi-finals on Friday. In the morning, Vijay Kumar warded off Asian Tour regular, Chandigarh’s Amandeep Johl 4 and 3. Thereafter, Vijay got a respite from the heat as an exhausted Yusuf Ali, trailing by two, conceded the quarter-final after six holes. Digvijay, on the other hand, was stretched to the limit in his first encounter where Gaurav Ghei took the Meerut pro into the 21st hole before handing him a win. Digvijay’s quarter-final match with Sanjay Kumar was no less exhausting with the former winning only on the 16th.

Digvijay’s battle with Gaurav nearly culminated in the latter’s favour, but Gaurav, on the second play-off hole, missed an easy three-foot par putt to extend the play-off by another hole. On the third play-off hole, Gaurav was faced with a difficult chip from the edge of the green, in comparison to Digvijay’s five-feet birdie putt. Gaurav missed but Digvijay did not. In the quarter-final, Digvijay assumed control early on with a birdie on the opening hole. Sanjay, however, pulled ahead with birdies winning him the third and fifth holes.

Thereafter, Digvijay caught fire to win the eighth, ninth, tenth and 12th with all but the ninth resulting from birdies.
