Yuvraj Sandhu has ascended to the top of the leaderboard with an impressive eight-under 64 in Round Two of the Tata Open 2025, a prestigious INR 2 crore event and the season finale of the PGTI. The tournament is being held at the Beldih and Golmuri golf courses in Jamshedpur.
Yuvraj, who recorded scores of 67 and 64, has a total of 11-under 131 at the halfway point, leading by three shots and climbing seven positions from his overnight tie for eighth. A six-time winner on the PGTI this year, he has secured the 2025 PGTI Order of Merit title, guaranteeing his spot on the DP World Tour for the next season. Sandhu is now in pursuit of a record seventh title on the PGTI.
Twenty-one-year-old Shubham Jaglan, participating in his third PGTI event, shot a four-under 66 at Golmuri during Round Two, elevating him four spots to secure second position with a total of eight-under 134.
The halfway cut was set at two-over 144, with fifty-three professionals making the cut.
In Round One, the field was divided, with one half competing at Beldih Golf Club and the other at Golmuri Golf Club. For Round Two, both halves switched venues. During Rounds Three and Four, the leading groups will play their first nine holes at Golmuri before transitioning to Beldih for their second nine holes.
Yuvraj Sandhu, who was four strokes off the lead after Round One, made a remarkable start with three consecutive birdies on the front nine. He faced a slight setback with a bogey on the 10th hole, but then launched into a birdie spree, netting six straight birdies from the 11th to the 16th.
His back-nine birdies included two skillful up-and-downs, two long conversions from distances of 12 to 15 feet, and two successful four-foot putts.
“I was feeling the effects of playing back-to-back weeks till the first round on Thursday. There was exhaustion. But today my body felt much better, I was more in control of things and able to swing freely. As a result, my ball-striking was also significantly better,” Yuvraj commented.
“Beldih was a little windy today, and I feel I now thrive when the wind is up, as I’ve played a lot in similar conditions in Asia. These conditions get the best out of me,” he added.
