‘Looking at the competition, it has reached its eighth edition. Many players playing abroad are playing in this competition. I expect the competition as well as the results to be interesting. If there is good competition, the score will also be good,’ said NPGA President Rabindraman Shrestha, adding that the season-ending competition has the largest prize money so far and the players are ready to compete with high morale.
