The final round was abandoned due to heavy rain, and Jamal was declared champion on the basis of his 54-hole tally.
At the Hyderabad Golf Association (HGA) on Friday, Jamal’s aggregate of 23-under-par 187 after three rounds proved decisive, giving him a four-shot lead. With scores of 61, 62 and 64, he led from the outset, showcasing remarkable consistency.

Among local hopefuls, Hyderabad’s Vishesh Sharma emerged best, finishing tied-22nd at five-under-par 205.
after winning, Jamal expressed his delight:
“I came close to winning a few times this season but couldn’t finish it off. Finally lifting the trophy feels very special. The weather is never in our control, but I stayed consistent all week. My driving and putting gave me the confidence, and that opening 61 really set the tone for the tournament.”
Looking ahead, he added:
“My next target is to perform well at the DP World India Championship in Delhi. I feel my game is building nicely for that challenge.”
Jamal’s triumph is another shining chapter in Bangladesh golf, inspiring hope for young golfers back home and reaffirming the country’s growing presence on the international stage.
