Phoenix Invitational: Bhullar, Baisoya, Prasad share three-way lead
Gaganjeet Bhullar, Sachin Baisoya and Arjun Prasad shared the opening-round lead with six-under-par 66s at the Phoenix Invitational 2026 Hyderabad at the Vooty Golf County on Wednesday.
The leading trio held a one-shot advantage over four players tied for fourth place at five-under 67, while six others were another shot behind at 68.
Bhullar, a six-time winner on the AM Green IGPL Tour and 11-time Asian Tour champion, carded nine birdies and three bogeys despite playing the course for the first time without a practice round.
“I had never played this course but then I had also never played the East Point GC last week. Maybe experience helps,” Bhullar said.
Baisoya also produced an impressive round, highlighted by an eagle and six birdies against two bogeys. He made a flying start, reaching five-under through his first five holes, including a chip-in eagle on the fifth.
Prasad, who has already won on his second appearance on the IGPL Tour, completed the leading trio with eight birdies and two bogeys. He turned at one-under before making a strong charge on the back nine, including three successive birdies from the 14th to the 16th.
Shat Mishra, Harshjeet Sethie, Ravi Kumar and teenage golfer Danish Verma were tied fourth at five-under 67.
Aryan Roopa Anand, Veer Ganapathy, Tushar Pannu, Shiv Kapur, M Dharma and Sawai Hamendra Singh Bhati shared the next spot at four-under 68. With 13 players within two shots of the leaders, the tournament is poised for a closely contested second round.
