Ahlawat finishes quietly on tied 34th in Denmark
Last Updated: Copenhagen (Denmark), Aug 18 (PTI) Veer Ahlawat finished with a modest 1-over 72 to finish tied 34 at the Danish Golf Championship at the Fureso Golf Klub in Denmark on the DP World Tour. Ahlawat shot three birdies and four bogeys in his final round. After a bogey on the second hole, Ahlawat put together three birdies in four holes and looked set for a strong end to the week. However, bogeys on the 12th, 16th and 17th prevented him from his first top 20 finish of the season. With scores of 73-68-70-72 Ahlawat had a total score of one under par for the week. The finish is expected to move him up from the 139th spot on the Race to Dubai rankings to the 136th spot. The top 113 will get Category 10 card, which gets a player most of the starts for next year. Englishman Marco Penge held his nerves to birdie the 18th and win by one stroke. Home favourite Rasmus Hojgaard started the final round one shot ahead of the eventual winner. A mid round collapse by Hojgaard from the seventh hole saw Penge claw his way back into the lead from a four shot deficit. Højgaard sunk in an eagle on the 18th to level the scores briefly until Penge made his birdie putt. Penge finished the week at 16 under par (64-68-69-67) while Hojgaard finished the week with a score of 15 under par (66-64-70-69). Penge set the course record in the first round and bagged a bonus of $10,000 from sponsor Nexo.

As the top ranked player on the closing swing rankings Penge also receives a further $200,000 in prize money.

'Could Get Away With Murder': Karsan Ghavri Makes Bold Statement About Sunil Gavaskar
Last Updated: Karsan Ghavri has discussed Sunil Gavaskar's stubbornness, citing his slow 1975 World Cup innings and refusal to meet the Indian PM during his playing days. Former India all-rounder Karsan Ghavri has said that Sunil Gavaskar was a very stubborn and adamant individual during his playing days and he would bat in his way, no matter what the message from the dressing room was and could even 'get away with murder'. As Ghavri recalled, Gavaskar always did things on his terms; that is how powerful he was. One of the most infamous chapters of the latter's career was his slow innings of 36 off 174 deliveries in the maiden edition of the World Cup in 1975. 'We, as Indian cricketers, didn't know how to play ODIs. In the first match, England scored 334, but when we came to bat, Sunil played out all 60 overs in that particular match. So many times, messages were sent, asking him to either accelerate or get out, trying to pick the pace," Ghavri said while speaking on Vickey Lalwani's podcast. 'But Sunil Gavaskar was Sunil Gavaskar in the 1970s. He wouldn't listen to anyone. He just played out Tony Grieg, Geoff Arnold, Chris Old and Bob Willis. The reason he gave after the match was, 'I was facing these guys, practising against them for the Tests in the future," Ghavri said. 'There was turmoil in the dressing room. When our manager asked him, Gavaskar said 'Leave me alone," Ghavri added. The former India all-rounder went on to share another anecdote about when Gavaskar refused to answer the Indian Prime Minister. The Indian team was playing a Test against Australia at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi. On the day of the game, Morarji Desai was to meet the players of both sides. 'Sunil Gavaskar was all set. Padded up. He was sitting in the dressing room and concentrating. Raj Singh Dungarpur was there and in the meantime, he was concentrating. Sunil was about to go out and bat in a few minutes," Ghavri said. 'Raj Singh said, 'Come on, everyone. The Prime Minister is here. The introduction will take place. It will take just 2-3 minutes.' Everybody went out, but Sunil said, 'I am not coming," Ghavri added. 'Sunil batted till tea and scored some runs also. At the end of the day's play, we didn't know that the PM had come to the dressing room only to meet Gavaskar. This is how Sunil Gavaskar, in his prime, right from 1971 to 1987, was always a champion. He could get away with murder," Ghavri said.
