Schniederjans Triumphs Over DeChambeau In International Series India With 4-Shot Victory
Former World No.1 amateur Ollie Schniederjans secured a dominant four-shot victory at the Asian Tour's International Series India, finishing at 10-under par at DLF Golf and Country Club near Delhi.
Schniederjans, who underwent double hip replacement surgery in 2022, maintained consistent form throughout the tournament with three consecutive rounds of 69. He held off LIV Golf stars Bryson DeChambeau, who finished second after a final-round 65, and Joaquin Niemann and Abraham Ancer, who tied for third at five-under par.

"It means a lot to me," said Schniederjans, who was supported by his brother Ben as caddie. "This golf course is very challenging, and my game is a lot better than it ever was. This was proof this week."

Despite fog delays throughout the tournament, Schniederjans maintained his composure, starting the final round with a birdie and adding three more on the back nine, including a spectacular chip-in at the 13th. DeChambeau's bogey-free final round wasn't enough to overcome the deficit.
