Kurush Heerjee (71) of Jamshedpur, the overnight leader, ended the week in tied fourth place at a total of seven-under 206 along with Chandigarh\u2019s Brashwarpal Singh (69).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 34-year-old Wasim Khan (67-69-67), who was overnight tied third and one off the lead, outperformed the rest of the field on the final day as he mixed seven birdies with a bogey and a double-bogey during his round of 67.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wasim\u2019s iron play was the highlight of his round on Thursday as he landed it within three feet of the flag to set up three of his birdies. He was also consistent with the putter as he sank three birdies from a range of 10 to 12 feet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A couple of errant tee shots on the 15th and 16th saw Wasim drop three strokes on that stretch. However, he closed it out well with a birdie on the 17th and a crucial par on the 18th. Khan picked up the winning cheque worth Rs 2,54,300 to climb from 11th place to second position in the 2025 PGTI NexGen Order of Merit. Wasim\u2019s total earnings for the season now read Rs 3,54,600.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rajesh Kumar Gautam, a winner in Gurugram and runner-up this week in Phillaur, now tops the NexGen Order of Merit with season\u2019s earnings of Rs 4,29,600.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wasim said, \u201cI\u2019m delighted to register my first professional win. I came close to winning earlier as I had two runner-up finishes on the PGTI Feeder Tour in 2019. I\u2019m glad that I could close out the match this time around.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
