Kolkata: Aadil Bedi, 19, on Sunday won his maiden title in a thriller at the Bengal Open Golf Championship 2020, played at the Tollygunge Club in Kolkata.

Chandigarh-based Bedi triumphed in style with a chip-in birdie on the sixth playoff hole to end Pune golfer Udayan Mane's incredible three-match winning streak on the TATA Steel PGTI.

The tournament worth Rs 30 lakh witnessed the longest-running playoff on the PGTI. The previous record for the longest playoff was four holes which were set three times. The last event decided on the fourth playoff was the Jeev Milkha Singh Invitational 2019 where Ajeetesh Sandhu prevailed over Rashid Khan. IANS
