Bengaluru-based Khalin Joshi won the tournament that was held at the East Point Golf Club (EPGC). The 33-year-old returned a two-under 69 to finish at nine-under 275 for the week, sealing a four-shot victory and ending a three-year title drought. The win, his seventh professional title, earned him ₹15 lakh.
