Pirates co-owner Gaurav Talwar scored a huge 7&6 win in the opening singles game to lay down the marker.
The Swinging Samurai came out the way their team name and beat the Ninjas 4.5-2.5. The Ninjas won the two singles games with Tarun Ghai getting a hole in one on the 8th hole. The Samurais proved to be too strong in the fourball games as they almost swept those with one game squared.
The third match of the day saw the defending champions Captain’s 18 humbled by the Netsmartz Tigers 5-2 causing a big upset. Tigers continued their winning streak against Captain’s 18 with Sangram Singh & Uday Talwar posting an 8&6 win in the anchor game. The singles games were split and the defending champions pulled back a couple of halves to avoid a heavier defeat.
A see-saw battle between Cee Dee The Mulligans and the Moksha Royals went all the way to the wire after Virain Khosla carded a 6&4 singles win. The Mulligans took the penultimate game to the final putt as Angad Sangha & Parvinder Singh Pruthi sealed a 4-3 victory to give last year’s bronze medallists a winning start to their campaign.
