At $5K 43rd Yonex Portuguese International Championships,

[F] (2) Rupesh Kumar (IND)/ Sanave Thomas (IND) l (1) Ruud Bosch (NED)/ Koen Ridder (NED) 19-21 20-22

[F] Anand Pawar (IND,101) bt Carl Baxter (ENG,103) 21-15 21-3

Another final and another Internationals title for Anand ... In his recent interview Prakash Padukone predicted Anand Pawar will be next player to watch and Anand is responding to his faith giving results though on lower level tournaments ... But then to get entry in to higher level tournaments he need to dominate these tournaments and I think this is only begining for him.

At Ballantine's Championship, Jeju Island, South Korea - Final Standing (EPGA Tour)

2 SINGH Jeev Milkha 68 66 64 66 -24 $341,352.00
T11 RANDHAWA Jyoti 68 72 70 67 -11 $ 52,944.00
T57 GHEI Gaurav 72 72 74 70 PAR $ 9,216.00

Jeev lost another golden opportunity of ending his title draught ... Frankly wild shot on 17th hole cost him title as then he gave chance to McDowell and lost in 3rd hole of play-off against Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell.

Though finishing 2nd is creditable performance but I m still feeling bad for Jeev's lost opportunity.
