Hosur: Yuvraj Sandhu of Chandigarh shot an extraordinary 10-under 61, his best score in two years, to stretch his lead to three strokes after round three of the INR 1 crore PGTI Players Championship 2025 being played at the Clover Greens Golf Course & Resort near Hosur in Tamil Nadu.
The 28-year-old Yuvraj (63-67-61), the current PGTI Order of Merit leader, who is staring at his fourth title of the season and second in two weeks, totaled 22-under 191 for three days.
Olympian Udayan Mane (67-65-62) of Pune, who was overnight tied second, struck a nine-under 62 on Thursday to move into sole second position at 19-under 194.
Delhi’s Kshitij Naveed Kaul (68-67-64) came up with a 64 in the penultimate round to move up one spot into third position at 14-under 199.
Teenage amateur Veer Ganapathy of Bengaluru returned a 63 to be placed tied sixth at 11-under 202.
Yuvraj Sandhu, who will be looking to become wire-to-wire champion for the second week in succession, extended his overnight two-shot lead by another shot with the help of a tournament low of 61 that was punctuated by five birdies each on the front-nine and back-nine.
Sandhu’s error-free round featured two drives that found the greens on Par-4 holes, two 12-feet conversions, two terrific nine-iron approach shots and a couple of quality up and downs.
Yuvraj said, “It was all about continuing the momentum from the previous rounds. I finally broke nine-under after almost two years, so that’s a big personal achievement for me as it was something I had been aiming to do.
“The game is trending in a good way, I feel comfortable while standing on the ball and am quite confident with the putter. I worked a lot on my driver’s club-fitting with my coach Gurbaaz Mann during the off-season. That seems to be paying off as my driving form has also been top-notch. I would now love to sign off on a high after three weeks on the PGTI before heading to the Asian Tour next week.”
Udayan Mane’s third round of 62 was highlighted by a 16-feet eagle conversion on the 12th along with seven other birdies. The 34-year-old Mane, searching for his first win in four years, also sank a 40-footer on the 17th and drove the Par-4 15th green to set up birdies.
