Ashok Kumar to turn pro at Hero Honda Masters
New Delhi, February 11 “I gave it a lot of thought and discussed it with (1982 Asian Games gold medallist) Amit Luthra and several other players. I found myself stagnating as an amateur. I would play one sub-par round and find myself way ahead of the field. I needed the competition and I will get it only in pro tournaments. I have always played my best in professional events,” said the 20-year-old Ashok about his decision. Ashok will be remembered for his excellent performance in the 1999 Hero Honda Masters when he surprised a quality field and featured in the leader group on the final day of the tournament. In fact, he was placed second after 12 holes on the final day, but made a triple bogey on the 13th hole of the Delhi Golf Club, and then trailed to finish 18th. In his amateur career, Ashok won the individual title in the SAARC Championship twice, apart from winning the National Amateur Championships of various countries like China, Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar. He also represented the country in the Eisenhower Cup. Arun Sharma bowls Lucent to victory A devastating spell of 6 for 25 by Arun Sharma helped Lucent Technologies beat Hero Honda by six runs in the ninth Teri Cup Cricket Tournament organised by TERI at the Central Secretariat ground. Arun Sharma was adjudged the man of the match. Scores: Hero Honda: 124 in 23.5 overs (Hitender Singh 39, 5x4, 1x6; Arun Sharma 6/25; Rajesh 2/31).
