New Delhi, Nov 29 ((PTI) India's Visnu Shivaraj Pandian won the bronze medal and became richer by USD 500 at the 'Champion of Champions' online event of the President of Indonesia Open Tournament on Sunday.

The 16-year-old Visnu, who trains under the guidance of former India shooter Shimon Sharif, was the only Indian to make the cut for the USD 4,500 prize money event after registering the best qualification score of 629.7 in men's 10m air rifle on Thursday.
