Reshan Algama in action at 11th Nepal Amateur Open

Reshan Algama delivered a sensational performance at the 11th Nepal Amateur Open, finishing on fourth place with a remarkable three-day total of 209 (−7).

This achievement marks one of the best international finishes by a Sri Lankan male amateur golfer in recent years.

Reshan showed composure, consistency, and world-class skill throughout the championship, carding three consecutive under-par rounds of 72, 68, and 69. His ability to stay below par each day on a demanding layout and against a strong regional field reflects the immense potential and maturity of this rising star.

The championship was won by Nepal’s Sadbhav Acharya, who shot an extraordinary total of 196, including a record-setting 60 in Round 2. Fellow Nepali B. K. Rahul and India’s Sumit Kotwal tied for second and third, both posting scores of 206, just three strokes ahead of Algama.

Among the other Sri Lankan competitors both Sachin De Silva surged to a 20th place finish with a solid even-par final round, bringing his total to 232, while Chanaka Perera finished 21st with a cumulative score of 233. Both were on private entries.

Other Lankan contestant Chalitha Pushpika pulled out after Day 1 due to an injury. (SJ)
