Shaurya Bhattacharya stamps authority with final day 63 for resounding five-shot win Naya Raipur, Chhattisgarh, February 28, 2025: Shaurya Bhattacharya of Delhi stamped his authority with an error-free final round of six-under 63 to register a resounding five-shot victory at a total of 27-under 249 at the INR 1 crore SECL Chhattisgarh Open 2025 presented by Chhattisgarh Tourism played at the magnificent Fairway Golf & Lake Resort in Naya Raipur. Shaurya Bhattacharya (64-61-61-63), the overnight leader by five shots, drove home the advantage on Friday to record his second professional win. The 22-year-old Shaurya, who was the PGTI Emerging Player of the Year in 2024, dropped just one bogey during the tournament. Bhattacharya picked up the winning cheque worth INR 15 lakh that catapulted him from 59th to second position in the TATA Steel PGTI Ranking.

Delhi’s Sachin Baisoya (67-62-64-61) fired the last day’s best score of 61 to climb five spots and claim the runner-up position at 22-under 254 at the Par-69 course. Sri Lankan N Thangaraja (66-63-62-64) posted a 64 in round four to secure third place at 21-under 255. Shaurya Bhattacharya, a winner in his rookie season on the PGTI last year, had a slow start to the day as he made pars on the first seven holes. Shaurya then picked up the pace by capitalizing on the three Par-5s, the eighth, 11th and 13th, with birdies on the first two and an eagle on the last. He also sank a 12-footer for birdie on the 12th. Bhattacharya all but sealed the title with his superb tee shot on the Par-3 17th that landed two feet from the pin and gave him his last birdie of the day.

Shaurya said, “It was a solid week for me with just one bogey through the four rounds. Whenever I was out of position or I missed the green, I recovered well with up and downs. Today it was all about focusing on my breathing and staying in the present. “I was striking it well through the week so that gave me a lot of confidence at the start of the final day. The plan was to attack the flags on day four since it is a scoring course. I gave myself a target of three to four under for the day as I knew that would be good enough to win. I’m glad that I managed to do even better.” Sachin Baisoya made an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey in round four to end the week as the runner-up. Sachin’s runner-up cheque of INR 10 lakh helped him jump from 20th to third place in the TATA Steel PGTI Ranking.
