Teenage amateur Pritish Singh Karayat shot a seven-under 65 to establish an imposing five-shot lead after round one of Pre-Qualifying II of the PGTI Qualifying School 2026 being played at the Kensville Golf & Country Club in Ahmedabad.

Pritish, who has been part of the Indian team at the junior and amateur level and has a winner and runner-up finish on the amateur circuit, said, “It was a solid round as my tee shots, iron-play and putting were top-notch. I made a lot of regulations and didn’t miss too many putts.”
