Gaurav Pratap Singh: Noida’s Gaurav Pratap Singh and Bangladesh’s Jamal Hossain, last week’s winner on the PGTI, posted scores of three-under 69 in extremely windy conditions to share the joint lead after round one of the INR 1 crore Tamil Nadu Open 2025 being played at the Coimbatore Golf Club.

Delhi-based Arjun Prasad, currently second on the 2025 PGTI Order of Merit, returned a two-under 70 to be placed third. Manu Gandas of Gurugram, rookie Joysurjo Dey of Kolkata, and Ahmedabad’s Anshul Patel were in tied fourth position with scores of 71.

Gaurav Pratap Singh, currently 31st in the PGTI Order of Merit, began the week with a bogey on the first hole but then rallied with five birdies over the next 14 holes thanks to some outstanding chip-putts. Gaurav dropped another bogey on the 17th but still ended the day with the joint best score.
