Krish Chawla Wins His First Amateur Golf Championship

November 2, 2026

Krish Chawla has won his first amateur championship title at the IGU North East Amateur Golf
Championship 2026, held at Digboi Golf Links, Assam, from 27 to 30 October.

Over the four rounds, Krish finished with a total of 286 (two-under-par) and secured the title by a two-stroke
margin. The final round tested his composure, particularly after four bogeys on the front nine. However, he
made an excellent comeback on the back nine with four birdies to finish on top.

Having previously established himself as India’s No. 1 junior golfer, Krish has now taken an important step
in his transition to amateur golf. His first amateur title reflects his hard work, consistency and commitment
to the sport.

We congratulate Krish on this wonderful achievement and wish him the very best for his upcoming
tournaments.
