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, which 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).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 28-year-old Sandhu, an international winner, picked up the winner\u2019s cheque worth Rs 15 lakh that took his season\u2019s earnings to Rs 73,67,200, giving him a substantial lead of over Rs 12 lakh in the PGTI Order of Merit. The champion took home the elegant new trophy depicting the majestic Mysore Palace, Mysuru\u2019s biggest landmark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As the preferred lie rule was in application through the week due to the rains preceding the event, Sandhu\u2019s tournament total, the lowest ever on the PGTI, will unfortunately not register as a PGTI record.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh\u2019s 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Delhi\u2019s 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-10 finishes to his credit, moved up from third to second place in the PGTI\u2019s money list with season\u2019s earnings of Rs 61,12,549.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sandhu, the leader from round one till the end, began the last day with a healthy three-shot lead. He went on to strengthen his position at the top early on the fourth day 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On the back nine, Sandhu continued his march towards the title by adding four more birdies courtesy of a couple of terrific tee shots and his second chip-in of the day on the 11th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sandhu, winner of the 2025 PGTI season\u2019s first two events, said, \u201cWinning 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMy 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\u2019m now looking forward to carrying forward this form into the season ahead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI had a side bet with my caddie that I would break my previous PGTI record of 10-under by shooting an 11-under today. Unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t achieve that today, but it was something that motivated me through the round,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Mysuru\u2019s Dhruv Bopanna had the best finish among the local professionals as he totalled three-under 277 to end up in tied 53rd position.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
