9 Thursday, March 23, 2017 HAPPY PAKISTAN DAY s we celebrate another year of Pakistan’s birth as an Islamic Republic; the green flag of this beautiful nation waves with pride and its crescent glitters while the light of its stars guides her towards progress and prosperity. Pakistan Day is a national holiday to commemorate the Lahore Resolution of 1940 and the adoption of the first constitution of Pakistan which led to the nation becoming the first Islamic Republic in the world. Much of it is owed to the FatherA of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah who founded Pakistan and led it until his death in 1948. Since then, the land of unique music and art held its own and has managed to capture the world with its vibrant culture, rich literature, soulful music, fascinating Paramedics taking a victim to the cities and picturesque landscapes. Home to the world’s oldest civilization, Mohenjo- Daro, Pakistan today hosts the highest paved international road in the world, the Karakoram Highway which links Pakistan to China. Its striking and serene sceneries from the Gwadar Port are often referred to as utopia. Many legendary musicians such as Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahet Fateh Ali Khan, Abida Parveen and Ghulam Ali were brought to the world by the grains of Pakistan’s soil. The nation also leads the garment industry with its modest fashion with its classic cotton ambulance on Westminster bridge Kurtis and intricately embellished Sherwanis. Having mastered the art of giving, Pakistan’s Edhi Foundation, the largest non-profit social welfare programme in the country runs the world’s biggest ambulance network. All these facts only prove that Pakistan has spread its wings far and wide and there is no stopping! Today as Pakistan grows from strength to strength and establishes a global presence, Quaid-e-Azam Jinnah looks upon its child and beams with joy. in Central London yesterday

Miami ory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth suffered upset defeats as the underdogs baredR their teeth on the opening day of the World Golf Championships-Dell Match Play yesterday. McIlroy’s quest to regain his match play crown was dealt an early setback as the world number two crashed to a 2&1 defeat against Danish veteran Soren Kjeldsen at Austin Country Club in Texas. An out-of-form world number six Spieth was then comprehensively beaten 4&2 by Japan’s Hideto Tanihara. Match play specialist McIlroy, the 2015 champion, had clawed his way back from two down to make it all square heading into the final three holes. But McIlroy missed a difficult birdie putt on the 16th to halve the hole, leaving Kjeldsen one up with two to play. The 41-year-old Dane then produced a magnificent tee-shot to within three feet on the par-three 17th to pile the pressure on McIlroy. The Northern Irishman made the green with his tee shot but was unable to sink his birdie, leaving Kjeldsen with the simplest of tap- ins to complete a 2&1 victory. “I felt good coming into today,” Kjeldsen said. “He’s a pretty spectacular player so you don’t want to watch him too much. “I knew I had to play well to have any kind of a chance so I didn’t look at what Rory was doing and fortunately I played well,” added Kjeldsen, who as the world number 68 is one of the lowest-ranked players in the in the 64-man field. “Everyone I’m playing this week I’m going to be the underdog,” Kjeldsen joked after the Group 2 win. “It’s nice. I haven’t had the best start to the season in America. But the last few weeks I’ve been getting better. I feel good. You can talk about match play but at the end of the day you need to shoot good scores and that’s what I did today.” This week’s tournament sees the field split into Jordan Spieth reacts after playing a 16 groups of four players who play each other on a round shot on the 3rd hole robin basis through Friday.
