Having finished runner-up at the Indian Open no less than four times since 1999, SSP Chawrasia had a few worries when he went to bed on Saturday night with a two shot lead.

However, one simple call to Jeev Milkha Singh and the Kolkata golfer hung on to his lead and his confidence as he finally won the Indian Open on Sunday. The victory not only gets him a big prize cheque and a card on the European Tour, but he will now also represent India at the Rio Olympics.
