Shubhankar Sharma opens four-shot lead in Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship

Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Oct 8 (IANS) Shubhankar Sharma fired a seven-under 65 to establish a four-shot lead after the second round of the INR 2 crore Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort in Greater Noida on Thursday. The 30-year-old Chandigarh golfer (68-65), who began the day two strokes behind overnight leader Shaurya Bhattacharya, made an eagle, seven birdies and two bogeys to reach 11-under 133. A two-time winner on the DP World Tour, Shubhankar returned to the winners circle at the Boulders Classic on the PGTI in April, ending an eight-year wait for a professional title. Chandigarhs Brashwarpal Singh (72-65) matched Shubhankar for the lowest score of the day. His seven-under 65 featured eight birdies and a solitary bogey as he surged from tied 11th overnight to second place at seven-under 137. Overnight leader Shaurya Bhattacharya (66-72) of Delhi slipped to third at six-under 138 after an even-par 72 containing three birdies and three bogeys. Bengalurus Khalin Joshi (72-67), a four-time winner on the DP World PGTI this season, climbed from tied 11th to fourth at five-under 139. His 67 featured an eagle on the par-five fourth, five birdies and two bogeys. Joshi entered the week second in the Race to DP World India Championship. Shubhankar was particularly encouraged by the control he displayed with his ball-striking after struggling to bring the different parts of his game together in recent weeks. I played really well and felt very solid throughout the round, he said. My ball-striking had not been at its best over the past few weeks, even though there was not much wrong with my game. Today, everything came together. I hit the ball exactly where I wanted, shaped shots both ways and felt in complete control. I could have holed a few more putts, but Im very pleased with the day, he said. The highlight of Shubhankars round came on the par-five fourth. After finding the left half of the fairway with his drive, he struck a six-iron from approximately 212 yards to 18 feet and converted the eagle putt. The putt just caught the left edge, he said. Most of my shots came off exactly as I had visualised them, and that was the most encouraging part. Shubhankar continued creating opportunities throughout the round, including on the final hole, where he struck his approach to about five feet but missed the birdie putt. There were several shots like that today, he said. Those are positive signs for this tournament and also for my preparations for next week. Shubhankar also praised DP World PGTI President Kapil Dev for his contribution to the growth of the DP World PGTI. Since Kapil Dev became President, more sponsors have come on board, while the organisation, social media and player facilities have continued to improve, Shubhankar said. The introduction of a players lounge is one example of the many positive changes on tour. Shubhankar, who played alongside Kapil in a Pro-Am in Hyderabad recently, said their shared Chandigarh connection made their interactions particularly easy. Despite being one of Indias biggest sporting icons, he constantly looks for ways to promote golf and move the sport forward, he said. Everyone in Chandigarh calls him Paaji, so speaking with him feels very easy. I have tremendous respect for everything he is doing for the game. Last seasons PGTI Order of Merit winner Yuvraj Sandhu (71-69) occupied fifth place at four-under 140. Current Race to DP World India Championship leader Saptak Talwar (75-72) climbed from tied 36th to tied 31st at three-over 147. The Pro-Am on Thursday was won by the team consisting of professional Shubhankar Sharma and amateur Rajeev Gupta. Their score was 48 stableford points.

Shaurya Bhattacharya opens with a two-shot lead in Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship

Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Oct 7 (IANS) Shaurya Bhattacharya opened with a six-under-66 to establish a two-shot lead after the first round of the Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort in Greater Noida on Wednesday. The 23-year-old Bhattacharya, a three-time winner on the DP World PGTI, made seven birdies and dropped his only shot of the day on the par-four eighth. Bhattacharya began the week ranked 14th in the Race to DP World India Championship. He has come close to adding another title this season, recording joint runner-up finishes at the Players Championship 2026 in February and the Kolar Open 2026 in August. Chandigarhs Shubhankar Sharma, a two-time PGTI Tour winner, occupied second place at four-under 68. His round featured an eagle on the par-five 12th, three birdies and one bogey. Shubhankar won the Boulders Classic on the PGTI in April, ending an eight-year wait for a professional title. Bangladeshs Jamal Hossain, Gurugrams Dhruv Sheoran and Bengalurus Manoj S returned matching two-under 70s to share third place. Jamal made three birdies against a solitary bogey, while Sheoran mixed six birdies with four bogeys. Manoj registered five birdies and three bogeys. Shaurya settled quickly with birdies on his opening two holes before relying on accurate approach play and patient course management to maintain his momentum. I got off to a strong start with birdies on the first two holes, which helped me settle into the round, Shaurya said. From there, I continued finding greens and stayed patient. The lone bogey was disappointing, but I holed some important putts. A long birdie putt on the final hole provided the finishing touch to his 66 and extended his advantage to two strokes. The putt on the last felt like a bonus, he said. I knew it would be a long day, so the key was to remain calm, keep my thoughts together and focus on one shot at a time. The tournament features a distinctive Pro-Am format, with amateurs competing alongside professionals in all four rounds. The extended playing schedule also took part of the field into floodlit conditions. The format is quite interesting because we are playing alongside amateurs, and the number of groups makes it a long day, Shaurya said. Playing under floodlights also requires some adjustment, but I competed in an event here in similar conditions a few weeks ago, so that experience helped me adapt quickly. The conditions were the same for everyone. I concentrated on hitting greens, creating opportunities and maintaining a steady rhythm throughout the round. Current Race to India Championship leader Saptak Talwar opened with a three-over 75 to share 36th place. The Pro-Am on Wednesday was won by the team consisting of professional Shaurya Bhattacharya and amateur Dr. Hamidi. Their score was 44 stableford points, and they won on a countback.
