As a result, Sandhu picked up the winner\u2019s cheque worth INR 30 lakh to take an unassailable lead in the PGTI Ranking with his season\u2019s earnings moving to INR 1,61,67,100.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old Yuvraj thus emerged as the 2025 PGTI Order of Merit champion and sealed his berth on the DP World Tour for next year.<\/p>\n<p>Sandhu\u2019s impressive sixth victory of the season helped him match the PGTI record for most titles in a season set by Manu Gandas in 2022. Yuvraj also equalled the record for the lowest winning total at DGC (14-under 274) set by Viraj Madappa in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>N Thangaraja (73-66-75-68) of Sri Lanka finished a distant runner-up at six-under 282 following his last round of 68. Thangaraja collected the runners-up cheque of INR 20 lakh to move up two spots to second place in the PGTI Ranking with his season\u2019s earnings reading INR 1,08,57,488.<\/p>\n<p>Akshay Sharma (five-under 283), Manu Gandas (three-under 285) and Rashid Khan (two-under 286) finished third, fourth and fifth respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Yuvraj Sandhu, who began the day with a one-shot lead, made early strides towards the title with birdies on the first two holes where he made an up and down from the bunker and a 12-feet conversion. Yuvraj went on to add four more birdies thereafter to comfortably march to his 15<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;career title as the rest of the field struggled to keep pace with him.<\/p>\n<p>Yuvraj, whose 13 top-10s this season also included three runner-up finishes, said, \u201cThe fact that I have sealed the PGTI Order of Merit title and earned my spot on the DP World Tour is yet to sink in. I think it will only sink in when I tee-off at the DP World Tour. I\u2019m really excited about playing in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning my sixth title of the year and winning at DGC for the first time is also special. DGC is known as the home of Indian golf and it\u2019s where I grew up watching my golfing heroes win titles. So, winning here was always on my bucket list.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImportantly, I took my recent narrow misses and heartbreaks as learnings and didn\u2019t dwell too much on them. I feel I showed a lot of grit to come back strongly after my disappointing runner-up finishes where I almost had the victory in the bag. I did well to go back to the drawing board and analyze my performances. This week there was also more clarity in decision-making between me and my caddie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took a gamble by playing on the PGTI this year and in the process sacrificing my Asian Tour card. That gamble paid off for me. I was totally focused on finishing number one in the PGTI Ranking and earning my berth on the DP World Tour. All the patience and dedication paid dividends in the end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had a great team that has supported me throughout and I would like to thank them including my coach and fitter Gurbaaz Mann, my trainer Lavish, my physios Gaurav and Ravinder and my mental coach Rabiya.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi:&nbsp;A determined Yuvraj Sandhu, coming back from a heartbreaking runner-up finish in Jaipur last week, dominated proceedings with a final round of six-under 66 to register a thumping eight-shot win at the INR 2 crore Vishwa Samudra Open 2025 presented by Kapil Dev played at the revered Delhi Golf Club (DGC).
