Shubhankar Sharma fired a five-under 67 to secure his seventh DP World PGTI title at the inaugural Boulders Classic on Friday.
Having started his final round with a seven-shot cushion at 20-under, he closed with a five-under 67, featuring six birdies and a lone bogey, to take home the trophy and Rs. 15 lakh in prize money.
The 29-year-old was in commanding form all week, finishing at a record 25-under 263, a dominant eight shots clear of the field. His total also set a new benchmark for the lowest aggregate score in PGTI history.
The victory ended a long wait for Shubhankar. It is his first win on the tour since the McLeod Russel Tour Championship in Kolkata in December 2017. It is also his first professional title worldwide in over eight years, his last coming at the Maybank Championship in February 2018.
His 25-under total surpassed the previous record of 24-under 264, jointly held by Anirban Lahiri (2010), Rashid Khan (2019), Akshay Sharma (2020), and Manu Gandas (2022).
Rashid Khan, Angad Cheema, and local lad Mohd. Azhar finished tied for second at 17-under 271, eight strokes adrift of Sharma. Khalin Joshi, who triumphed in Visakhapatnam last week, finished tied 12th (10-under 278) with Saptak Talwar, the current PGTI Order of Merit leader.
