Shubham Jaglan rode on his final-round six-under 64 to secure his maiden professional title by two shots at the ₹1 crore Coal India Open on the par-70 Tollygunge Club course here on Friday.
In a rain-curtailed 54-hole affair, the 21-year-old from Panipat totalled 14-under 196 to collect ₹15 lakh and climb 12 places to be 14th on the DP World PGTI Order of Merit (OoM).
Backed by his father-cum-caddie Jagpal, Jaglan, who was tied-fifth overnight, kept his cool despite dropping a shot at the start. He recovered well to finish with an eagle, six birdies and two bogeys to erase a four-shot deficit.
Jaglan, who hit the headlines for his exploits as a junior golfer a decade ago and then graduated from the University of South Florida, banked on his experience of American college golf to adopt an attacking approach and gain a shot on the 18th.
“I was nervous over the last few holes. I’m proud of the way I finished,” said Jaglan, coming from a family of wrestlers.
Jamal Hossain was runner-up with 198.
OoM leader Saptak Talwar (67, 65, 70) finished joint-11th.
The scores (third round): 196-Shubham Jaglan (67, 65, 64); 198-Jamal Hossain (65, 63, 70); 200-Akshay Sharma (66, 65, 69) and Shaurya Bhattacharya (64, 70, 66); 201-Rashid Khan (68, 66, 67), Kshitij Naveed Kaul (64, 66, 71), Yuvraj Singh (67, 68, 66), Arjun Sharma (65, 68, 68), Badal Hossain (65, 68, 68) and Om Prakash Chouhan (62, 70, 69).
