Sandhu, Danek Share Lead After Opening 65s At Chennai Open
TNGF Cosmo Golf Course: Ajeetesh Sandhu and Czech Republic’s Stepan Danek fired matching seven-under 65s to share the first-round lead at the INR 1 crore Chennai Open 2026 at the TNGF Cosmo Golf Course on Tuesday.
Sandhu, a 37-year-old former Asian Tour winner from Chandigarh, carded eight birdies against a lone bogey on the par-four 12th to set the early benchmark. Five-time winner on the PGTI, he made the most of the scoring opportunities on the course and finished strongly with birdies on the 16th and 18th, despite finding the greenside bunker on both holes.
“It was a good day, and I capitalised on the easier holes,” Ajeetesh said. “Finishing with birdies on the 16th and 18th was particularly satisfying. The fifth and sixth, along with a few of the par threes on the back nine, are more demanding, so you have to negotiate those well.”
