Kiwi golfer Riordan wins ADT event
Port Dickson (Malaysia): New Zealand’s golfer Sean Riordan erased the heartbreak of not making the grade at the Asian Tour Qualifying School by closing with an even-par 71 to win his first Asian Development Tour (ADT) title at the $60,000 PGM Port Dickson Championship here on Saturday.
Riordan, who led the ADT event after the second round, endured a nervous finish as he signed off with a four-day total of 11-under 273 to snatch a one-shot victory over Paul Donahoo of Australia at the Port Dickson Golf and Country Club.
The Malaysian trio of Shaaban Hussin, R.Nachimuthu and Kemarol Baharin shared the third place with Sweden’s Oskar Arvidsson on 275 total at the Championship, which is the 13th leg of this season’s ADT Schedule.
Having lost his opportunity to earn his Asian Tour card in Qualifying School in January, Riordan turned his attention to the ADT where the five top players on the Order of Merit at the end of the season will be rewarded with their card for the 2016 season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
