However was in trouble once again on the par-4 eighth where he made a triple in successive rounds and ended his front nine with a double.<\/p>\n<p>On the return journey, the Kolkata lad once again began in a similar fashion making three straight pars before making a triple on the 14th and bogeying the rest of the holes (double on 16th). However, Raghubir signed off with a par to emerge victorious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am thrilled to win back to back titles,\u201d said the 16-year-old. \u201cI was very confident after my victory at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club and today too I played well on most of the holes.
