Khalin Joshi maintains firm grip on J&K Open with 6-Shot lead
Srinagar, Aug 6: Khalin Joshi shot a six-under 65 to end the third round with a comfortable six-shot lead at the INR 1 crore J&K Open 2026 being played at Royal Springs Golf Course in Srinagar. The 33-year-old Bengaluru golfer, who began the day seven shots clear, as per a PGTI statement, followed his first two rounds of 63 and 66 with another composed display to reach 19-under 194. Delhis Rashid Khan (68-68-64), also a former Asian Tour winner, fired the days best score of seven-under 64 to move into sole second place at 13-under 200, six shots behind Joshi. Khalin Joshis second successive bogey-free round featured six birdies and extended his run without a dropped shot to 37 holes. The former Asian Tour winner has made just one bogey all week, which came on the par-four 17th during the opening round. While his ball-striking was not as sharp early in the round, Joshi found a way to keep moving forward before rediscovering his rhythm on the back nine. I didnt hit the ball as well on the front nine as I had over the first two days, but making two birdies after missing the fairways was important, said Joshi. I found some momentum on the back nine, hit a few good shots and converted some good putts. Overall, Im feeling confident and positive about my game. Joshi has now produced rounds of 63, 66 and 65, but he is not allowing his commanding position to change his approach heading into the final day. Hitting fairways is the key here because it creates plenty of birdie opportunities, he said. My goal tomorrow will be to find as many fairways as possible. If I can do that, I believe the score will follow. There is just one round left, so I need to stay in the present and continue doing what Ive done over the first three days. Joshi has also enjoyed the distinctive surroundings at Royal Springs. He recalled seeing a bear run across the third fairway from about 100 yards away during the Pro-Am and joked that he hoped it would prove to be his good-luck charm. The fruit trees around the course have added another local flavour to his week. Ive had mulberries and what I think were cherries or apricots near the third hole, as well as a few apples during the practice and opening rounds. Its another part of what makes this place so special, Joshi said. Chandigarhs Ajeetesh Sandhu (65-72-65), another former Asian Tour winner, climbed to third place at 11-under 202 following a third-round 65. Panipats 21-year-old Shubham Jaglan (70-68-66) and Chandigarhs Angad Cheema (68-68-68) shared fourth place at nine-under 204. DP World PGTI Ranking leader Saptak Talwar (69-71-65), who spent the summer competing on the HotelPlanner Tour, shared T-6th position with Kshitij Naveed Kaul (70-69-66) at eight-under 205. Brijesh Kumar (69-74-67) of Panchkula posted the first hole-in-one of the tournament on the par-3 11th on Thursday. Brijesh was placed tied 20th at three-under 210. The par-four 11th hole was shortened and played as a par-three due to waterlogging from heavy rain before the start of the tournament. The J&K Open 2026 is supported by Event Title Partner J&K Tourism and hosted at the Royal Springs Golf Course. The tournament is principally backed by global smart logistics provider DPAbout DP World Professional Golf Tour of India (DP World PGTI) The DP World Professional Golf Tour of India serves as the official governing and sanctioning body for mens professional golf in India and is a recognized member of the International Golf Federation and the International Federation of PGA Tours.

The payoff wont be limited to better access for affordable healthcare at home; it will also help Indian manufacturers become trusted suppliers across international markets. India has historically maintained leadership in the consumables and disposables segment of medical devices. Made in India products have found way into countries across the world. Now the roadmap is to build upon Indias potential as a leader in precision engineering and cost-effective medical devices and to establish it as a choice global supplier of quality, affordable medical devices.
