Boulders Classic Golf: Local Lad Vishesh Sharma Takes A One-shot Lead On Day One
DP World PGTI Order: The 19-year-old Vishesh Sharma of Hyderabad fired a seven-under 65 to take a one-shot lead in the opening round of the inaugural INR 1 crore Boulders Classic being played at the Boulder Hills Golf & Country Club in Hyderabad. Sharma’s 65 set a new course record and featured an eagle on the par-5 14th, six birdies, and a lone bogey.
Two-time PGTI Tour winner Shubhankar Sharma carded a six-under 66 to sit tied second alongside Delhi’s Vinay Kumar Yadav. The round marked Shubhankar’s first start on the tour since the Tour Championship in Jamshedpur in December 2021. Teenager Vishesh Sharma, who turned professional last year and finished 21st on the DP World PGTI Order of Merit in 2025, made the most of his familiarity with the venue to produce a standout round.
Vishesh said, “I kept myself in play early on and focused on getting into good positions. The eagle on the 14th really gave me momentum. I hit a hybrid to about 10 feet there and made the putt, which helped me push on.”
