Winner Rakshit Dahiya
The fifth stop on the 2025 Indian Golf Union (IGU) National Amateur Tour produced one of the lowest scoring displays in recent history, as Delhi Golf Club played host to the Delhi State NCR Cup from May 27–30. On a course traditionally known to challenge even the most seasoned players, two Delhi golfers went head-to-head that saw the winning score fall to 16-under-par, with a course record equalled along the way.
Rakshit Dahiya emerged as the champion, finishing with an impressive 72-hole total of 16-under 272 after rounds of 67-70-68-67. The 18-year-old from Delhi secured back-to-back titles, following his win in Chandigarh last month. Dahiya set the tone with an opening 5-under 67 and matched that score again in the final round to hold off a strong challenge from compatriot Deepak Yadav.
Runner-up Deepak Yadav
Yadav, the son of DGC caddy Ganesh, etched his name in the club’s history books during the second round with a stunning 10-under 62, tying the course record. He closed with a 69, finishing at 15-under 273, just one shot behind Dahiya.
The rest of the field finished well off the pace. Kanav Chauhan of Uttar Pradesh took third place at 8-under 280, after rounds of 68-67-72-73.
