(HT Photo) Yuvraj (61-65-62-61), who hails from Chandigarh, emerged wire-to-wire winner after an exceptional final round of nine-under 61, matching his tournament low from round one, that saw him end the week with an astounding total of 31-under 249 in his very first appearance at the pristine Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Golf Club (JWGC). The 28-year-old Sandhu, an international winner, picked up the winner's cheque worth ₹15 lakh that took his season's earnings to ₹73,67,200, giving him a substantial lead of over ₹12 lakh in the PGTI Order of Merit. Bangladesh's Jamal Hossain (62-65-64-66) came in second at a total of 23-under 257 following his effort of 66 in the final round. Delhi's Arjun Prasad (66-62-64-66) secured third place at 22-under 258 after shooting a last round of 66. As a result, Arjun, one of the most consistent performers this season with eight top-10s to his credit, moved up from third to second place in the PGTI's money list with season's earnings of ₹61,12,549. Yuvraj Sandhu, the leader from round one till the end, began the last day with a healthy three-shot lead. Sandhu went on to strengthen his position at the top early on day four with five birdies on the front-nine. His drive on the Par-4 third hole found the green while he chipped-in and produced a great chip for a tap-in on the next two holes. On the back-nine, Yuvraj continued his march towards the title by adding four more birdies courtesy a couple of terrific tee shots and his second chip-in of the day on the 11th. Sandhu, winner of the 2025 PGTI season's first two events, said, 'Winning with a 31-under score and a huge margin to add to that is something that every professional golfer dreams of. I would like to thank my whole team for their support. I dedicate this win to my grandmother who we lost about two months back and also to my caddie Sonu who did an outstanding job this week.' 'My form through the week was, like I said before, a reflection of the grind I went through in the off-season. It feels nice when all that hard work pays off. I'm now looking forward to carrying forward this form into the season ahead,' Sandhu said. Sandhu said that he had a side bet with his caddie that he will break his previous PGTI record of 10-under by shooting an 11-under today. 'Unfortunately, I couldn't achieve that today but it was something that motivated me through the round,' he added. 'I would like to thank the JWGC for a great course set-up this week. The members were very encouraging as they walked with a lot of groups and the staff did a fantastic job by keeping the course in top condition despite the rain preceding the event,' Sandhu said. Jamal Hossain, who was overnight second, came up with six birdies on the day but his early double-bogey made it hard for him to catch up with a rampaging Yuvraj.

Chandigarh: Yuvraj dominates round three at Mysuru golf open
Yuvraj Sandhu dominated the proceedings on day three with an eight-under 62 highlighted by two eagles to extend his lead to three shots at the ₹1 crore Mysuru Open 2025. A confident-looking Yuvraj, the leader from round one onwards, moved his total to an imposing 22-under 188. Chandigarh-based Sandhu (61-65-62), the current PGTI Order of Merit leader, is now staring at his third PGTI title of the season. Sandhu landed his tee shot within two feet of the pin on the Par-4 seventh. (HT Photo for representation) Jamal Hossain (62-65-64) of Bangladesh posted a 64 despite missing some crucial putts to continue in second place for the third straight day as his total read 19-under 191. Delhi golfer Arjun Prasad also carded a 64 to move into sole third place at a total of 18-under 192 on another overcast day. Chandigarh's Karandeep Kochhar matched Yuvraj's first round tournament low of 61 to zoom 11 spots to tie fourth place at 17-under 193. Kochhar's round featured an eagle and seven birdies. Italy's Michele Ortolani (63), who fired two eagles on Thursday, also closed the day in joint fourth position. Yuvraj Sandhu began the day by dropping his first bogey of the week on the second. However, Yuvraj came roaring back with two birdies and two eagles on the front-nine. Sandhu landed his tee shot within two feet of the pin on the Par-4 seventh to pick up his first eagle while for his next eagle on the Par-5 ninth. Yuvraj landed his approach within three feet of the flag. The 28-year-old Sandhu, an international winner, then produced five consecutive birdies from the 10th through the 14th thanks to all aspects of his game coming together. At that stage Yuvraj enjoyed a commanding five-shot lead. However, he had a horrid last four holes where he made three bogeys in exchange for a birdie that reduced his lead.
