Golfer Yuvraj Sandhu wins Gujarat Open

Chandigarh golfer Yuvraj Sandhu made it back-to-back titles as he registered an impressive five-shot win after dominating the final round with a score of 7-under 65, the day’s best, at the recently concluded Gujarat Open Golf Championship, in Ahmedabad.

Sandhu (32-34-68-65), who had also won the season-opener last week in Kolkata, totalled 17-under 199 for the week in Ahmedabad. The 27-year-old has now won both events of the 2025 PGTI season so far.

Delhi-based Saptak Talwar (34-34-69-67) posted a last round of 67 to finish runner-up at 12-under 204.

Sandhu, who bagged the winner’s purse of Rs 15 lakh to further consolidate his lead in the TATA Steel PGTI Ranking, said, “I was just thinking about my checklist of achieving back-to-back wins at the start of the day. I was a bit nervous and anxious but wanted to stamp my authority. I’ll be going home very happy. I’m very thankful to my team back home, especially my coaches,” —TNS
