India finishes 9th at Nomura Cup

The Indian team, led by Aman Raj, finished ninth on the final day of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Golf Team Championship, Nomura Cup at the Yas Links Golf Club here.
Raj's four days total of 10-under 278 played a big role in India collecting the team total of one-under 863 (218, 219, 210, 216). His teammates Samarth Dwivedi, Rahul Ravi and Harimohan Singh, IGU ranked 3rd, 5th and 7th respectively, struggled to put up a low score throughout the week.
The lowest three scores of the four count towards the team total in each round.
The Japanese team edged out Chinese Taipei to win the 27th Nomura Cup title in a nail biting count back finish.

In the individual category Raj, who was the second best finisher at the Asia-Pacific amateur championship last year, kept getting better from first day's tied 9th position and finally grabbed the 5th position after shooting two-under 70 on the final day.
