Vinod finished with a tournament total of nine-under 279. Arshdeep Tiwana of the Golden Greens Golf & Country Club, Gurgaon and Chadigarh's Harendra Gupta shared second position at eight-under 280.
Vinod (70-69-70-70) started the final round in tied second place and soon established himself as one of the main contenders for the title. He made a phenomenal par-save on the par-5 third hole where he first found the fairway bunker and then the hazard.
The 32-year-old recovered well on the third with a brilliant chip from behind the bunker that landed within a couple of feet of the flag.
Vinod made his move up the leaderboard with a 20-feet birdie putt conversion on the sixth. The professional from the Delhi Golf Club earned his second birdie of the day on the 13th where his well-directed approach shot landed six feet from the hole.
However, Vinod was disappointed to miss birdie putts from five feet on the 12th and 14th.
The short and stocky Vinod did well to make par on the par-3 15th which had the day's toughest pin position.
Shamim Khan had stumbled to an eight (five-over) on the 15th after hitting it out of bounds twice and then finding the hazard. His title hopes were dashed on the 15th. Harendra Gupta also dropped a bogey on the same hole. (More)
