Delhi-based Arjun Prasad, currently second on the 2025 PGTI Order of Merit, returned a two-under 70 to be placed third. Manu Gandas of Gurugram, rookie Joysurjo Dey of Kolkata, and Ahmedabad\u2019s Anshul Patel were in tied fourth position with scores of 71.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gaurav Pratap Singh, currently 31st in the PGTI Order of Merit, began the week with a bogey on the first hole but then rallied with five birdies over the next 14 holes thanks to some outstanding chip-putts. Gaurav dropped another bogey on the 17th but still ended the day with the joint best score.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBesides some quality chip-putts, I also made some good par-saves today. Importantly, I stuck to my game plan and things fell in place thereafter. I\u2019ve been quite consistent so far in the second half of the season. I had top-20s in the last two events, so I feel my game is on the right track and now it\u2019s about putting four good rounds together,\u201d Gaurav, a multiple-time winner on the PGTI, said at the end of the day's play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jamal Hossain, like Gaurav, also began his round with a bogey on the 10th. However, it was an upward graph for Jamal from there on as he collected birdies on the 15th and second courtesy a couple of top-class chip shots before finally chipping in for an eagle-two on the Par-4 sixth hole.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
