Both sandhu

Clover Greens Golf Course: Yuvraj Sandhu prevailed over Udayan Mane in a marathon playoff that lasted five extra holes to win the Rs 1 crore PGTI Players Championship 2025 played at the Clover Greens Golf Course and Resort near here on Friday.

Both Sandhu, the overnight leader by three shots, and Mane, who was overnight second, ended the regulation 72 holes with identical totals of 28-under 256 that pushed the match into a dramatic playoff. The 28-year-old Chandigarh resident Sandhu (63-67-61-65), also the winner in Mysuru last week, thus registered back-to-back titles and took a commanding lead in the PGTI Order of Merit after picking up the winning cheque worth INR 15 lakh.

Sandhu’s fourth victory of the year, achieved after a solid final round of six-under 65 and a gritty playoff performance, took his season’s earnings to INR 88,67,200, giving him a lead of over INR 25 lakh in the PGTI’s merit list. It was Yuvraj’s second wire-to-wire win in two weeks.
