Kshitij Naveed Kaul drives his way to the top in round one of DP World Players Championship 2026

New Delhi, Feb 10(UNI) Kshitij Naveed Kaul drove his way to the top in round one of the INR 1.5 crore DP World Players Championship 2026 being played at the Qutab Golf Course in New Delhi. Kshitij posted a flawless eight-under 62 at the Par-70 course, one of his favourite venues, where he had also set the course record with a 10-under 60 last year.
Honey Baisoya’s 63 placed him second while the quartet consisting of American Jhared Hack, winner of the season-opener last week, Kushal Singh, Dhruv Sheoran and Akshay Sharma, were a further shot behind in tied third place.
The 25-year-old Kshitij Naveed Kaul, a winner of five DP World PGTI events, including one last season, drove the ball to perfection on Tuesday as he landed four of his drives close to the green. His round also featured a couple of immaculate bunker shots. Kshitij, who had a fourth-place finish last week in Naya Raipur, collected three birdies on the back-nine and added five more on the front-nine including four on the trot.
