Thereafter, on the second extra hole, Amrit\u2019s consistency helped him prevail as he made par once again while Sanjeev conceded a bogey to fall short.<\/p>\n<p>Amrit Lal picked up the winning cheque worth INR 2,54,300, which moved him up 13 spots from 17th to fourth position in the 2025 PGTI NEXGEN Order of Merit.<\/p>\n<p>Chandimandir\u2019s Umed Kumar (71) took fourth place at one-under 215.<\/p>\n<p>Lucknow\u2019s Rajesh Kumar Gautam, who finished tied ninth at five-over 221 in Patna, continues to lead the 2025 PGTI NEXGEN Order of Merit with season\u2019s earnings of INR 5,83,200.<\/p>\n<p>Patna\u2019s Md Nawab finished the best among the local professionals as he ended the week in tied 12th at six-over 222.<\/p>\n<p>Amrit Lal, whose previous best on the NEXGEN was a fourth-place finish, began the day with a two-shot lead along with overnight co-leader Lakshya Nagar. Amrit was steady over the first 10 holes, making a birdie on the second, courtesy a 30-feet conversion and not dropping any shot.<\/p>\n<p>Amrit then endured a few stutters thanks to few erratic tee shots and approach shots that resulted in four bogeys for him on the back-nine. He managed just one birdie on the back-nine thanks to a 12-feet conversion on the 15th.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Amrit kept his composure on the two playoff holes to come home the champion even as his rivals Lakshya and Sanjeev dropped bogeys to finish joint runners-up.<\/p>\n<p>Amrit said, \u201cAll departments of my game were quite sharp this week. I drove, chipped and putted really well. Importantly, I was mentally strong during the playoff and that helped me close out the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was actually encouraged by making the cut on the main tour a couple of weeks back after a long injury-affected spell. My injured left thumb caused me a lot of problems for a long period and that affected my performances. But thanks to the help extended by Dr. Vishal Gautam, I managed to fully recover from the injury some time back. I would also like to thank my fitness coach Mr. Sagar Diwan for all his support and guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna: Chandigarh\u2019s Amrit Lal edged out Lucknow golfer Sanjeev Kumar and Noida\u2019s Lakshya Nagar in a three-way playoff to register his first professional win at the PGTI NEXGEN 2025 Hosted by Patna Golf Club.
