Shubhankar Sharma clinched the Boulders Classic in Hyderabad with a record 25-under 263, marking his seventh PGTI title. The 29-year-old ended an eight-year title drought, finishing eight shots ahead. His score set a new benchmark for the lowest aggregate in DP World PGTI history.

Hyderabad, April 17: Shubhankar Sharma carded a five-under 67 to claim his seventh DP World PGTI title at the inaugural INR 1 crore Boulders Classic played at the Boulder Hills Golf & Country Club in Hyderabad.

The 29-year-old from Chandigarh dominated the week, finishing at a record 25-under 263 (66-66-64-67), eight shots clear of the field. His winning total set a new benchmark for the lowest aggregate score on the DP World PGTI.

The victory earned Sharma INR 15 lakh and marked his first win on the tour since the McLeod Russel Tour Championship in Kolkata in December 2017. It was also his first professional title worldwide in over eight years, dating back to his triumph at the Maybank Championship, a co-sanctioned event on the DP World Tour and Asian Tour in February 2018.

Sharma’s winning total of 25-under eclipsed the previous record of 24-under 264, held by Anirban Lahiri (2010), Rashid Khan (2019), Akshay Sharma (2020), and Manu Gandas (2022).
