Joshi Posts 65 to Keep Six‑Shot Cushion in JK Open

Khalin Joshi, the 33‑year‑old from Bengaluru, recorded a six‑under‑par 65 on Thursday at the Spring Srinagar Golf Course, widening his JK Open 2026 lead to six strokes. After rounds of 63 and 66, Joshi sat at 19‑under‑par 194. Rashid Khan, a former Asian Tour champion, posted a 64 to move into solo second at 13‑under‑par 200, still six shots off the pace. Joshi’s round featured six birdies, all on the back nine, and he completed the day without a bogey. He explained that missing a few fairways on the front nine forced him to rely on back‑nine momentum, where he found several birdie chances. With only one round left, Joshi said his focus remains on hitting fairways and maintaining the confidence that has carried him through the first three days.
