Indian sports wrap, February 3: Veer Ahlawat finishes tied 49th in Bahrain
India’s Veer Ahlawat put together a gritty 1-under 71, his third under par round in four days, to finish the 2025 Bahrain Championship at 4-under and tied-49th.
It was a modest finish after his T-27 in Ras Al Khaimah, but Veer showed that he was getting used to the elite Tour, which he got into by topping the PGTI Order of Merit in 2024.
As a result of an alliance between the PGTI and the DP World Tour, the OOM winner gets a card to play on the DPWT.
The 28-year-old DLF Academy golfer birdied four times in the final round with the gains coming from second, eighth, ninth and the 17th.
He dropped shots on third, 13th and the 16th. His earlier rounds were 70-70-73.
Veer is slated to play the Qatar Masters next and he will be joined by Shubhankar Sharma, a regular on DPWT.
Laurie Canter saved his best until the last as he beat Pablo Larrazabal and Dan Brown in a play-off to win the 2025 Bahrain Championship and claim his second DP World Tour title.
