LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Oct, 2020 ) :The 37th Millat Tractors Governors Cup Golf Championship 2020 came to an enlivening conclusion here on Sunday at the Lahore Gymkhana Golf Course after three rounds of golfing battle where quite a few young ones of the golfing arena fought it out with heroic intensity.
Punjab Governor Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar was the chief guest at the prize distribution ceremony.
Ultimately the successful one turned out to be Salman Hanif of Gymkhana and his success can be attributed to good control over nerves and ability to apply his golf playing skills just when the application was needed most.During the course of the final 18 holes on Sunday ,the fight for supremacy was reduced to a contest between him and Abdullah Farooqi who did cast a winning spell for a major part of the final round but ultimately yielded to relentless play by the title winner ,Salman Hanif.

As for the slightly unlucky Abdullah Farooqi ,his scores were 66,62 and 70 net and total score was 198 net,eighteen under par.It goes to the credit of these two teenagers that they kept themselves in the limelight during the three days of this Millat Tractors Event and in the process surpassed the performance of many accomplished amateur golfers.So one can say that their impressive talent needs to be nursed by the Gymkhana Management.
The participant who ended up third was another young one with a physique that can intimidate anyone.
Height is over six feet and so is his prowess He played exceedingly well ,yet had to be content with the third position.His score was net 206 .Certainly played like a champion but ended up third as his adversaries were in great form.
