The Story in Brief
Khalin Joshi shot a five-under 66 to win the J&K Open by nine strokes at Royal Springs Golf Course in Srinagar, finishing at 24-under 260. The 33-year-old’s eighth professional title and second victory of the 2026 DP World PGTI season came with rounds of 63-66-65-66.
Rashid Khan placed second at 15-under 269, followed by Shubham Jaglan (14-under) and Ajeetesh Sandhu (12-under). Order of Merit leader Saptak Talwar shared fifth at nine-under with Rahil Gangjee and Angad Cheema.
The Indian Opinion
The coverage frames Joshi’s win as a one-man show, but his 24-under 260 reflects a course that surrendered low scores all week, Rashid Khan finished 15-under and still lost by nine. That is not a mismatch; it is a question about the test Royal Springs provided. The real story is deeper: Joshi has won twice this season on the DP World PGTI, but is he peaking for an Asian Tour return? His next overseas start will answer whether this dominance translates beyond domestic fields.
