Das Krishnan won the Saipan Golfers Association March Ace of the Month Tournament last Feb. 12 at the Kingfisher Golf Links in Talafofo.<\/p>\n

The 67-year-old Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan Banquets and Events director finished with a net 70 after a gross of 82. The 12-handicapper shot a 42 in the first nine holes and 40 in the last nine.<\/p>\n

John Matsumoto actually finished tied with Krishnan after also netting a 70 built on a 95 gross (48-47). Completing the Top 3 was Frances Sanlan with his 71 net (100 gross, 45-55)<\/p>\n

Krishnan dedicated his win to close friends and golf buddies Steve Balakrishna and Nick Sablan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are always there for me when I am up or down in life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His secret to winning the March ace, he said, is he always competes with himself and no one else.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just played it cool and took it easy only playing the course and not the players. It was a fine day and also the wind conditions were favorable for me that day,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In the closest to the pin competition, Ben Aldan took the plum in hole No. 6; Sablan was without peer in hole No. 8, while Krishnan won in hole No. 12.<\/p>\n

Patrick Cepeda and Rick Kautz topped the longest drive in holes No. 2 and\t18, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Krishnan now joins SGA 2023 January Ace of the Month Ray Salas for the club\u2019s season-ending Ace of Aces Tournament.<\/p>\n

The SGA 2023 March Ace of the Month Tournament is scheduled this Sunday, March 26, at Coral Ocean Point.\u00a0 Tee time is 9am with a show time of 8:30am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
