Jamal surprises pros

Sports Reporter
Nineteen-year old Jamal Hossain Mollah has emerged as Bangladesh's new golfing sensation after winning the City Bank - Dhaka Bank Bangladesh Open 2009 by five strokes at the Kurmitola Golf Club on Saturday.
Jamal, who is still an amateur, produced a fighting even-par 72 on the final day to finish with a 13 under par 275 and thereby wrap up the title ahead of his more illustrious professionals.
Indian professionals Harendra Gupta, Shamim Khan and Sanjay Kumar finished joint second with a score of 8 under par 280, with Gupta prevailing in a three-way playoff to finish as the best professional.
An elated Jamal was greeted with thunder-
ous applause from the galleries at Kurmitola after he sunkhis final putt on the IBthhole.
He said, "It is an amazing feeling to win one of the biggest tournaments ever to have been staged in my country. This whole week has been like a dream for me. “
After starting the day brightly the youngster had lost some of the momentum to the more experienced Shamim, but his exuberance and tenacity paid off in the end, as the challenge from the Indian tapered off.
An astonishing birdie on the seventh signalled his intentions of seeing out his top spot status but despite some hiccoughs along the way, particularly on the 11 th and 12th holes, he managed to claim a landmark victory.
"1 was little nervous at the start today when Shamim [Khan] made a birdie on the first. Nevertheless, I was quite relaxed by the time we got to the second green. I played my natural game from then on and did not bother about how the others were playing."
He added, "I was sure of winning after’the 14th where Shamim (Khan] missed a short putt for par. I had aimed to finish with a total of 15 under and that helped me concentrate better towards1 my goal. I did not miss any putts today, hit 11 fairways out of 14 and made 13 regulations."
As per traditional golf rules, amateurs have no share in the prize booty, as they are only allowed to win a hundred dollars worth of winnings in a year. With his ama-
teur status, Jamal's coffers may not have swelled significantly but the experience of winning this tournament will have given him a lot to work with for the future.
Before this win, Jamal had given signs of his precocious talent by winning a couple of amateur tournaments in India and Bangladesh last year. Yesterday, he outlined his short-term goals.
"My aim is to now play amateur golf for another two years before turning professional."
Another Bangladeshi hope Mohd Siddikur Rahman, finished tied fifth along with Rahil Gangjee at four under 284. Gaganjeet Bhullar was ninth at two under 286.
