New Delhi, December 11, 2025: PGTI Ranking leader Yuvraj Sandhu, a five-time winner on the PGTI this year, will be gunning for a record sixth title this season come the final day of the Vishwa Samudra Open 2025 presented by Kapil Dev, an INR 2 crore event, being played at the revered Delhi Golf Club (DGC).

Chandigarh-based Yuvraj (73-69-66) came up with a flawless six-under 66, the third day’s best score, to gain two spots from his overnight tied third place and move into a one-shot lead at a total of eight-under 208.

If Yuvraj does go on to bag his sixth win of 2025, he would match the PGTI record for most titles in a season set by Manu Gandas in 2022. Sandhu had missed out on matching the record last week in Jaipur when he finished runner-up after leading for most part of the final round.

Delhi’s Rashid Khan (72-70-67) shot a 67 to rise one spot to second position at a total of seven-under 209. Rashid, a two-time international winner, mixed six birdies with a bogey on Thursday to emerge as Yuvraj’s closest rival in the title race. Khan will be looking to end a six-year-long title-drought.

Manu Gandas (71-72-68) occupied third place at five-under 211 at the end of day three.

The Vishwa Samudra Group, the Title Sponsor for the event, is a multilateral business conglomerate with over 15 companies, headquartered in Hyderabad, India.

Yuvraj Sandhu began the day with a birdie on the first, then sank a couple of putts from a range of 10 to 20 feet to pick up birdies on the seventh and ninth. Yuvraj’s good putting form continued on the back-nine as he rolled in two more long putts for birdies on the 11^th and 13^th. His last birdie of the day came on the 14^th.

Yuvraj said, “I feel there is more clarity between me and my caddie in decision-making this week. That is one aspect that has contributed to my good performance over the past two days.

“I also feel with so many back-to-back weeks on the road, I didn’t get enough time to sit down and introspect about my game. I also needed some time away from the game. That’s the reason I rushed to my home Chandigarh immediately after the Jaipur event. Even the 24 hours at home gave me some time to introspect and I also got in a game of paddle tennis with my friends that gave me a refreshing break from golf.”
