Indian Golf Premier League: Aman Raj has his eyes set firmly on the AsianTour and more as he moved to the top of the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) rankings with his second win in as many weeks, as he clinched the IGPL Invitational Kolkata hosted by SSP Chawrasia at the Tollygunge Golf Club.

Aman, who won by three shots, has earned Rs. 58,34,058 and holds a handy lead of almost Rs. 13 lakhs over teenaged Kartik Singh (Rs. 45,16,307), who finished outside the Top-10 for the first time in five starts. Gaganjeet Bhullar, who is busy on the Asian Tour, has won Rs. 45,00,000 as Kapil Kumar (36,44,725) and Veer Ganapathy (29,90,775).

The 30-year-old Aman, who now has two wins and three other Top-10s in five starts on the IGPL Tour, achieved another major landmark as he also became the first player to amass more than Rs. 50 lakhs on the IGPL and became the second player after Gaganjeet Bhullar to win back-to-back events. Bhullar won the first two IGPL events in Chandigarh and Jaypee Greens, and he was followed by Kapil Kumar in Pune. Aman has now won in Jaipur and Kolkata.
