Gladiator team Record 7/0 win
Chandigarh, September 26: The Havells Lloyd CGL 2023 began with a bang with the Homeland Chandigarh Gladiators blanking Golf Masters 7-0 recording the first shutout in the history of the league on a vibrant opening day here at the Chandigarh Golf Club. In the opening match, Swinging Samurai made a fast start to record a quite impressive 5-2 win against the Sultans of Swing.
Captain’s 18 also began their campaign with a 5-2 win over Sleepy Owl Chargers in a close affair even though the scoreline may suggest otherwise. In the last match of the day, Moksha Royals beat the Punjab Aces 4-3 in a tense finish with five of the seven games decided on either the last or the penultimate hole.
The Gladiators began on the front foot with captain Saurabh Singh Mangat leading the way as he closed out a 4&2 win in his singles game. The fourball games is where the Gladiators found their groove with their pairs winning big and finishing their games early. Col. Narjit Singh & Dr. Vinninder Singh Sachdev scored a 7&6 victory in the anchor game, closing out a perfect day for last year’s quarter finalists. Col PS Randhawa & KBS Katoch also posted a 6&4 win while their two other pairs recorded 5&4 wins. With such a scoreline, the Gladiators became the first team to post a perfect match score and go straight to the top of the table and will expect to stay there going forward.
The Samurai & Captain’s 18 took largely similar routes to their 5-2 victories. Col Parminderjit Singh & Sehaj Bir Singh Sidhu scored the biggest win for the Samurai over the Sultans of Swing while Bhupinder Singh Mundh & RS Mann matched the top winning margin of the day with a 7&6 win for Captain’s 18. Sleepy Owl Chargers were in it for longer than the scoreline suggests but couldn’t turn clutch moments in their favour.
The Moksha Royals pooled in all their reserves to capture 4 important points as last year’s runners up Punjab Aces began the Havells Lloyd CGL on a disappointing note. Team captain Darvesh Kumar combined with Kulwant Singh Bhullar to card a 3&1 win and watched two of their pairs win on the final hole including the anchor game.
