A gruelling battle went Mohammad Shehzad’s way after he edged Shabbir Iqbal in a tense playoff to win the inaugural President PGA Open Golf Championship at the PAF Skyview Golf and Country Club course here on Wednesday.
Holding a stroke’s lead heading into the final round, Shehzad struck a 67, only to be joined at 10-under 206 by Pakistan number one Shabbir, who fired a 66.
The battle intensified as nothing could separate Shehzad and Shabbir in four playoff holes before the former clinched the title when he sank a birdie on the fifth with Shabbir only managing a bogey.
