Jhared Hack opens three-shot lead at PGTI Q School Final Stage

American Jhared Hack carded a second straight two-under 70 to build a three-shot lead after round two of the Final Qualifying Stage of the PGTI Qualifying School 2026 at Kensville Golf & Country Club in Ahmedabad.

Hack, who won Pre-Qualifying III last week, moved to four-under 140 at the halfway stage.

Shubham Jaglan, a two-time runner-up on the PGTI last season, signed for a one-under 71 and was tied second at one-under 143 alongside Sawai Hamendra Singh Bhati, who also shot 71.

The halfway cut fell at 11-over 155, with 82 players advancing from the 131-man field.

Hack made five birdies against three bogeys, picking up shots on all four par-5s through strong wedge play.

“I had a shaky start today as I missed some short putts early on,” Hack said. “But I stayed patient and hit a lot of fairways. Tee to green was quite stress-free later in the round.”

Rohit Baisoya was fourth at even-par 144, while Kartik Singh, amateur Pritish Singh Karayat and Joysurjo Dey were tied fifth at one-over 145.

After the fourth and final round, the top 47 players will earn full cards for the 2026 PGTI season.
