Chennai, India, May 9, 2011: India continues to maintain its strength at the finals of the
World Corporate Golf Challenge. Team India comprising of Rudratej Singh and Subhash Naidu
from Hindustan Unilever, Mumbai emerged Runners-up at the World Finals of the 25th World
Corporate Golf Challenge. India scored a total of 66 points, 1 point less to the winning team
from Northern Ireland.
The tournament saw teams from 22 different countries including UK, Ireland, France, South
Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, Spain, Germany, USA and Czech Republic among others at the
prestigious and world famous Simola Golf Course at George near Cape town, South Africa.
The two member Indian team was selected from among 400 corporate teams in India who
played four regional rounds of the TAKE Solutions World Corporate Golf Challenge (India) in
Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kodaikanal and then met at the National Finals in Bangkok.
Unfortunately, bad weather flooded the golf course in the final round and the game was
stopped after 6 holes on the day of the final round. Hence Indian team finished 2nd on the
basis of first 3 day scores. The Indian team has finished either first or second in three of the
last four editions of the World Corporate Golf Challenge World Finals. Maiden win was in 2008
in Spain and last year the Indian team was tied for 1st place but lost the title on a tie break.
“It was a very close match and we are impressed to see the team?s performance. I on behalf
of TAKE Solutions congratulate Rudratej Singh and Subhash Naidu for their outstanding
performance” said Srinivasan HR, Vice Chairman and Vision Holder, TAKE Solutions, he
further added, “I strongly believe that, TAKE Solutions World Corporate Golf Challenge has
been instrumental in boosting the spirit of Corporate golfing in India. We have been playing
very high standard golf and teams from across the world have recognised our potential. We
promise to maintain our standard and continue to bring out new and talented golfers from
Corporate India.”
