New Zealand’s Mark Brown produced a
stunning final nine holes to claim a
dream victory in the Johnnie Walker
Classic and a second title in a week.
Five birdies on the back nine stunned
the elite field as he romped home in 31
for a five-under-par 67 and 18-under-par
total of 270 to secure a three-stroke
victory over the Australian pair of Greg
Chalmers and Scott Strange and Japan’s
Taichiro Kiyota. |

Japan’s Taichiro
Kiyota pulled off a miraculous birdie on his
last hole to snatch the lead after the third
round of the US$2.5 million Johnnie Walker
Classic on Saturday.
The Asian Tour stalwart produced a thrilling
five-under-par 67 on a sun-baked DLF Golf and
Country Club and leads by one stroke from
India’s Jyoti Randhawa and Mark Brown of New
Zealand.
Randhawa, chasing a home victory which will edge
him closer into the world’s top-50 and a place
in next month’s US Masters, carded a 68 while
Brown, winner of last week’s SAIL Open in India,
soared high with two stunning eagles for a 64.
The tournament’s big guns, Vijay Singh of Fiji
and Australian Adam Scott, failed to fire. |

India’s Shiv Kapur
lived up to the adage “Beware the sick golfer”
when he fired a sparkling seven-under-par 65 for
the joint halfway lead with Australia’s Unho
Park in the Johnnie Walker Classic on Friday.
The talented Kapur, the Asian Tour’s rookie of
the year in 2005, rose from his sick bed to post
a blemish-free round that included one eagle and
five birdies at a sun-kissed DLF Golf and
Country Club.
The smooth-swinging Park, searching for his
maiden victory, was equally impressive with an
eight-birdie round for a 66 while another
Indian, Jyoti Randhawa charged into contention
by matching his young compatriot’s score for
third place with Japan’s Taichiro Kiyota.
World number five Adam Scott of Australia stayed
within striking reach after grinding out a
second successive 68 to lie just two off the
pace in a share of fifth place. Fijian Vijay
Singh and 2006 Asian number one Jeev Milkha
Singh of India will enter the third round four
off the lead. |

and set up the possibility of becoming the
second Indian winner of a major tournament on
home soil in the past month. |
