Dda open

Kshitij Naveed Kaul: Delhi’s Kshitij Naveed Kaul fired a sensational course record score of 10-under 60 to move into a one-shot lead at a total of 12-under 128 at the halfway stage of the INR 1 crore Calance Open 2025 at the Qutab Golf Course here.

The 24-year-old Kaul (68-60), a winner of four titles, who was four shots off the lead in tied 23rd place after Round One, put together an eagle and eight birdies on Wednesday, to rise 22 spots and claim the second-round lead.

The legendary Mukesh Kumar of Mhow had registered an 11-under 59 at the DDA Open staged at the Qutab Golf Course back in 2005. However, the course was re-laid and changed in 2018. Kaul’s extraordinary effort of 10-under 60 will thus count as the new course record.
