City's Yuvraj wins Mysuru golf open, third title of the season
Chandigarh, Aug. 17 -- Yuvraj Sandhu stamped his authority at the Rs.1 crore Mysuru Open 2025 on Friday by registering a thumping eight-shot win to clinch his third title of the season that also helped him consolidate his lead in the PGTI Order of Merit.
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 Rs.15 lakh that took his season's earnings to Rs.73,67,200, giving him a substantial lead of over Rs.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.
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. 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....
