Kirmani among eight finalists

The Mercedes Trophy teed off in style in its 15th Edition, giving all the guests a memorable experience. Over 2500 golfers will participate in the tournament while clinics for beginners will also be conducted.
The big prize for the winners in each city is a spot at the National Final in Pune in March. However equally exciting is the 'Drive to the Major' contest, which will pick one winner to attend the British Open Championship at St Andrews, Scotland in July as a guest of Mercedes-Benz who are official partners of the tournament.The 'Best Car Trophy' each day adds even more excitement in the field.
At the end of the 15th Edition of the tournament, three winners will travel to the world final at Stuttgart, Germany, against golfers from over 60 countries.
My congratulations to the eight winners who have booked their spots at the India final so far Kishore Parekh, Jawahar Doreswamy, former cricketer Syed Kirmani and MR Kamble in Bangalore, Coimbatore's K Prabhu Shanker, Shrenik Kumar from Chennai and Nitin Bhangey and Arvind Sethi from Pune.
