Chalitha Pushpika of the Navy finished on top with an impressive aggregate score of 289 from four rounds at the Ranking Tournament for the National and Emerging squads at the Royal Colombo Golf Course from June 28 to July 1.
The four round Ranking Tournament conducted by Sri Lanka Golf (SLG) saw the top players in a keen tussle to grab top honours.
Pushpika managed to get ahead of another talented and top golfer in Chanaka Perera by two strokes.
A notable score was returned by junior golfer Reshan Algama, but he did not make the cut. Taniya Balasuriya who was expected to fare well did not complete at the tournament much to the disappointment of the organizers. (TBR)
