Coimbatore, May 23 -- Vihaan Jain of Haryana made clutch putts on the homestretch on Friday to hold off a gritty Nilofer Sivamoorthy of Tamil Nadu, securing the IGU Southern India Junior Boys Golf Championship title at the Coimbatore Golf Club, a release said.

The 16-year-old got off to a shaky start but came good under pressure on the back nine. He carded a five-over 77 for a nervy, two-shot victory over Sivamoorthy (75) on a windswept day. This was the second consecutive Category 'A' (15-17 years) title for Vihaan, who finished with a 12-over 300 total. He also won last week in Vizag.
