Boulder Classic 2026: Shubhankar Sharma Ends 8-year Title Drought With Convincing Eight-shot Victory

By IANS News April 17, 2026 • 19:46 PM View: 210

McLeod Russel Tour Championship: Top professional Shubhankar Sharma carded a five-under 67 to claim his seventh PGTI Tour 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 PGTI Tour.

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.
