Gallacher claims Indian Open golf with son as caddy

Scotland's Stephen Gallacher claimed a stunning one-shot victory at the Indian Open on Sunday and the "special" win came with his son by his side as caddy.

Gallacher, 44, shot 71 to finish at nine-under 279 and edged out Masahiro Kawamura of Japan to clinch his first European Tour title in five years at the DLF course in Gurgaon.


Gallacher, who shared the first round lead but started the final day three shots behind leader Julian Suri, birdied three of his last four holes to come up trumps in the event co-sanctioned by the Asian and European Tour.

"It was great to have my son, Jack, on the bag and this being Mother's Day (in Scotland) as well makes it even more special," said a delighted Gallacher.

"I have always loved coming to India, I love my curries and to have my son, Jack, on the bag for the win was special.

"Last year I played in the final group with Matt Wallace and I enjoyed and I was seventh, so it felt great to get this Trophy this time around," Gallacher, who was a member of Europe's winning Ryder Cup team in 2014, added.

The Scot, who last won in 2014 in Dubai, overcame a major setback after a quadruple bogey eight on the seventh hole on Sunday.

"I thought, 'just hang in there'. When I birdied 15 I saw that Julian Suri had come back and then when I got to the 16th green I was tied for the lead," he said.

"I just tried to finish as strong as I could and I did that. Thankfully it was enough."

Spaniard Jorge Campillo (67) was third and American Suri, who had led by three after 12 holes, slipped in the 14th to finish alongside South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout at six under.

Rashid Khan and S. Chikkarangappa finished in a tie for 10th and were the best Indians among the eight who made the cut.

Asian Tour champion Shubhankar Sharma put two balls into the water on eighth to shoot 75 and ended even par 288 for the week and was tied 27th.

Unlocking ancient healing: The power and precision of Vedic mantras

Ashwini Guruji

You may have heard of Sanjeevani Vidya, bestowed by Guru Shukracharya, which could revive the dead, or the Sanjeevani Buti that restored Lakshman’s life. Tales like Madhu Vidya, enabling immortality, and the Ashvini Kumars’ Chyawanprasha, rejuvenating Sage Chyawan, are not mere stories but the practical achievements of Vedic rishis. Masters of Creation, they understood the human body as a microcosm of the universe. The proof of these ancient sciences lies in modern scientific discoveries, many rooted in Vedic shastras. Visit www.dhyanfoundation.com to explore this connection.

Though much of this ancient knowledge has been lost in Kaliyuga and many herbs have become extinct, fragments remain accessible and potent. Divya Chikitsa Mantras from Sanatan Kriya are one such gem. These mantras use sound and vibrations to produce profound healing and transformational effects. Comprising seven mantras, they unclog energy channels (nadis), activate specific centers, and channel divine energies into the practitioner.
