  Alex Fitzpatrick staves off Eugenio Chacarra to lift Hero Indian Open for breakthrough win; Teenager Manoj S and veteran Om Prakash Chouhan best Indians at T43

  The Hero Indian Open has a way of thrusting the underdog into the limelight. Last year, Eugenio Chacarra arrived for the country’s National Open on a sponsor’s invite. He won, and there has been no looking back.

  Valiant as Chacarra was in his title defence, the finale had another name written on it. Before the two-shot win over Chacarra at 9-under 279 (70, 68, 72, 69), Alex Fitzpatrick arrived in India as an aspirant as well. He made the DP World Tour through its feeder line, the HotelPlanner Tour in 2024, and from then it was about persevering for the breakthrough on the main Tour.

  Bhatia, Molinari, Chacarra, top attractions at Hero Indian Open; Shubhankar, Yuvraj, Rayhan, lead Indian challenge

  The urge to keep pushing, and getting better, has remained a constant for Francesco Molinari. The 44-year-old Italian’s career highlight came with a soul-stirring win at the 2018 Open Championship.

  Though winless since 2019, Molinari has not stopped backing himself and carries the mindset of the man who beat the world-class field back in 2018.

  The confidence that the tide will turn is infectious, and it could be this week with a win at the Hero Indian Open, that starts at the DLF Golf and Country Club tomorrow with an enhanced prize purse of US$ 2.55 million.

  The champion that he is, challenges continue to move Molinari and the feedback from elder brother Edo...
