K. Pappu at Chandigarh Golf  Club, Chandigarh. Other amateur who made it to the final was local lad  Angad Cheema, who beat country\u2019s junior No.1 Saquib Ahmed to stay 1-up  for the day.<\/p>\n<p>Pappu who beat top 3 amateur players of three different countries on  road to the semis, made a great start to the day by winning the first  hole by playing a safe par but couldn\u2019t keep up the good work and lost  the 2nd. After Gagan and Pappu halved the 3rd, 4th and 5th, Pappu lost  the 6th to go one-down but he then made a strong comeback winning the  7th and 8th to go 1-up. Pappu\u2019s then ran out of luck as he again lost  9th, 10th to go one-down. It was difficult for the Kolkata lad to regain  his momentum as he lost 13th, 15th and 16th after halving 11th and 12th  and Gagan ended the game on 16th by 4 &amp; 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>A  disappointed Pappu said, \u201cIt was a tough loss as I expected my good form  to get better off Gagan. But it was one of those days when nothing went  right. The worst thing was that on the hole no. 16 where I won my last  three matches of match play, I had to pack my bag on the same hole. I am  hoping to come back strongly in the next season that starts in February  on the same golf course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a neck to neck victory for the  winner of RCGC Cup 2011, Angad Cheema as he and Bangalorian Saquib Ahmed  both halved the first five holes. Cheema hit the center fairway on 6th  to go 1-up where Saquib\u2019s ball went out of bounds. Cheema again won the  7th to go 2-up but became one-up on 8th while Saquib made a par. Both of  them again halved 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th and Cheema\u2019s ball  went on the right side of fairway on 15th just behind the tree and both  of them became all squared. After they halved 16th, Cheema took  advantage on 17th and 18th to win the match by 2 staying 2-up.<\/p>\n<p>An  excited Cheema said, \u201cI am pretty happy to get into the finals of All  India as this is going to be my first All India Championship title if I  win tomorrow. The best part about today\u2019s game was that both of us  played a very strong game and I took the advantage of beating him in the  last two holes. I am looking forward to take the 2nd spot on IGU\u2019s  Order of merit list after winning tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Chandigarh: <\/strong>Delhi\u2019s Gagan Verma, 41, used his enormous  experience to good effect as he won the semi-final of CNEB All India  Amatuer Championship against Kolkata\u2019s S.
