The learnings have been noted all through and implemented well going forward. Event 3 of the Indian Golf Union‘s North Zone Amateur Feeder Tour 2025, organsied by Ace Golf, was another week when Chaitanya displayed the progress by shooting under-par on both days of competition at the Classic Golf and Country Club.
Starting with a two-under 70, Chaitanya rounded it off with a 71 to finish with a final score of three-under 141 for a comfortable five-shot win over Vedant Jain, who had rounds of 74 and 72 for a total score of 146.
Naveen Rathi (75, 72) and Vijayant Pundir (74, 73) were in a tie for the third spot at 147 but the former was better placed on account of his lower Day 2 card.
