Indian Open 2026: Alex Fitzpatrick Staves Off Eugenio Chacarra For Breakthrough Win

The Indian Open: Recovering from a double bogey, Alex Fitzpatrick surged past overnight leader Eugenio Chacarra for a two-shot win as he lifted his maiden cup in India, claiming the Indian Open 2026 title in Gurugram on Sunday.

The Indian Open has a way of thrusting the underdog into the limelight. Last year, Eugenio Chacarra arrived for the country’s National Open on a sponsor’s invite. He won, and there has been no looking back.

Valiant as Chacarra was in his title defence, the trophy had another name written on it. Before the two-shot win over Chacarra at 9-under 279 (70, 68, 72, 69), Alex Fitzpatrick arrived in India as an aspirant as well. He made the DP World Tour through its feeder line, the HotelPlanner Tour in 2024, and from then on, it was about persevering for the breakthrough on the main Tour.
