He was also consistent with the putter as he sank three birdies from a range of 10 to 12 feet.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of errant tee shots on the 15th and 16th saw Wasim drop three strokes on that stretch. However, he closed it out well with a birdie on the 17th and a crucial par on the 18th.<\/p>\n<p>Khan picked up the winning cheque worth INR 2,54,300 to climb from 11th place to second position in the 2025 PGTI NEXGEN Order of Merit. Wasim\u2019s total earnings for the season now read INR 3,54,600.<\/p>\n<p>Rajesh Kumar Gautam, a winner in Gurugram and runner-up this week in Phillaur, now tops the NEXGEN Order of Merit with season\u2019s earnings of INR 4,29,600.<\/p>\n<p>Wasim said, \u201cI\u2019m delighted to register my first professional win. I came close to winning earlier as I had two runner-up finishes on the PGTI Feeder Tour in 2019. I\u2019m glad that I could close out the match this time around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy game has been in good shape since last week\u2019s event in Kapurthala. So, I just decided to continue with the same game-plan this week and play percentage golf by trying to hit maximum fairways and greens. The advice from my mentor and senior professional Shamim Khan helped me a great deal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phillaur: Wasim Khan of Delhi shot a final round score of four-under 67 to move his total to 10-under 203 for the week and thus win his maiden title at the PGTI NEXGEN\u2019s Phillaur Open presented by R S Gill played at the Ranjitgarh Golf Club in Phillaur, Punjab.
