The 2022 Kolkata Masters, the third tournament of the Indian Golf Union’s (IGU) Eastern India Amateur Golf Feeder Tour, was held at Tollygunge Club between May 5 and 6. After a topsy-turvy couple of days, it was Kolkata's Garv Lakhmani who produced a fantastic round of 70 to seal his triumph. On the second day, Lakhmani stole the momentum from his good friend Suveer Kapoor, who had been the overnight leader on 71, but failed to clinch the trophy as he shot 10-over par in the final round.
