IGPL Chandigarh: Aman Raj takes a four-shot lead over Gaganjeet Bhullar

Chandigarh, March 12(UNI) Aman Raj, who despite battling injuries last season, came within a whisker of winning the inaugural IGPL Order of Merit, has put himself in a very strong position to make a winning start in the brand new 2026 season. Patna Golfer Aman Raj, 30, who won twice last season, shot a brilliant 8-under 64 under the blazing sun and leapt to the top of the leaderboard reaching 11-under. He carded 3-under 69 on the first day at the Chandigarh Golf Club.
Last year Aman finished second behind Pukhraj Singh Gill in the race to the IGPL Order of Merit by less than Rs. 9,000. Aman was four shots clear of Gaganjeet Bhullar, the most successful Indian in history on the Asian Tour with 11 wins. Yet Aman said, “Bhullar can come back from any deficit. He is an amazing player. He showed that last year in the IGPL with his consistency.”
On his own game Aman smiled and said, “I started with a duff on the first hole but still birdied it. It was that kind of a day. I had my troubles off the tee, but my short game was superb and that carried me through the day.”
