J&K Open 2024: Rookie Shaurya Bhattacharya Claims Maiden Title With Dramatic Come-from-behind Win
Jammu Tawi Golf Course: A late flourish by Delhi-based rookie golfer, Shaurya Bhattacharya on the final day earned him a dramatic come-from-behind victory and his maiden professional title at the INR 50 lakh J&K Open 2024 played at the Jammu Tawi Golf Course (JTGC) here on Saturday.
The 21-year-old Shaurya (67-69-73-69), playing his first season on the PGTI, showed great character to card the joint lowest score of the round, an error-free three-under 69, on a tough final day where almost every golfer struggled, to total 10-under 278 for the week and become the first rookie to win on the PGTI in five years.
Gurugram’s Kartik Sharma (71-68-67-74), the overnight leader by three shots and leader for most of the last round, crashed out of contention after bogeys on the last three holes that saw him post a 74 on Saturday. The left-handed Kartik totalled eight-under 280 for the tournament.
