Chandigarh, October 25: Defending champions The Mulligans, Sultans of Swing and Pirates of the Greens secured their semi-final berths on a dramatic quarter-final day in the GB Realty Chandigarh Golf League 2026 at The Chandigarh Golf Club on Sunday. The remaining spot will be decided on Monday after Hunting Hawks and Moksha Royals finished locked at 3.5–3.5, setting up a three-hole playoff at 9:00 am.
The Mulligans defeated GD Aces 4.5–2.5 in a rematch of last year’s final, earning a semi-final showdown with Sultans of Swing, who ended Golf Masters’ three-match winning streak with a 5–2 victory. Pirates of the Greens edged two-time champions Captain’s 18 by 4–3 and will face either Hunting Hawks or Moksha Royals for a place in the final.
The day’s most gripping contest saw the highest- and lowest-seeded qualifiers, Hunting Hawks and Moksha Royals, produce seven games that could not separate them. Arav Singh Dagar secured a 3&2 singles win for the Hawks, while Virain Khosla responded with a 2-up victory over Krishna Kaila, taking the final hole to claim his point.
Hunting Hawks strengthened their position in the pairs through two emphatic victories. Shalini Sheoran and Col. A S Sekhon won 6&5, while Vinay S Bhan’s pairing delivered an 8&7 triumph.
Moksha Royals fought back through Rohit Mittal and Veneet Mohan, who secured a 4&2 win, and a determined performance from Sachin Bansal and Sanjay Modgil. The Royals pairing won the 15th, 16th and 18th holes to finish 1 Up against Lt. Col. G M S Bindra and Sukhdev Singh Sidhu.
The final game went down to the 18th, where Moksha captain Rajiv Modgill and Akarsh Garg won the hole to halve their match against Ravibir Singh and Gurpreet Singh Bakshi. With the overall score tied, the two teams must return for a three-hole playoff, with a semi-final place at stake.
The Mulligans continued their title defence in commanding fashion, registering a sixth consecutive team victory. Angad Singh Matharoo opened with a 2&1 singles win, while Dr. Angad Sangha and Mivaan Singh halved their encounter to give the champions an early advantage.
Captain Bismad Singh and Jaskeerat Kaur Matharoo added a convincing 5&3 pairs victory. Jaspreet Singh Sokhi’s pairing contributed a 4&2 result, while brothers Himmat Singh and Shamsher Singh secured a 3&2 win to complete The Mulligans’ tally.
GD Aces collected their two points in the pairs through Gursharan Grewal and Akshay Verma’s 4&2 victory, followed by a commanding 6&4 win for captain Rupinder Singh and Varun Rao. The Mulligans, however, proved stronger across the remaining games to keep their unbeaten team record intact and move into the semi-finals.
Pirates of the Greens also booked their last-four place with a strong performance in the singles. Amarinder Brar defeated Kanwal Bajwa 2 Up, while K Raghav Bhandari produced a commanding 6&4 victory, carding a superb three under par through 14 holes.
Captain’s 18 mounted a challenge in the pairs. Skipper Bhupinder Singh Mundh and Phulbagh Sodhi won 4&3, Padamjit Sandhu and Pukhraj Singh Brar added a 3&2 result, and H S Kang and R S Mann secured another 4&3 victory.
Pirates, however, collected two crucial pairs points through M P Singh and Col. Gurbir Singh Gill’s 3&2 win and a 2&1 victory for Amandeep Bath and Gp. Capt. Arvind Rathore. Combined with their two singles wins, those results proved enough to carry Pirates into the semi-finals.
Sultans of Swing continued their impressive campaign by defeating Golf Masters 5–2 and bringing the Masters’ three-match winning streak to an end. Sampat Singh secured a 4&2 singles victory for Sultans, while Karan Kakkar claimed a 3&1 win for Golf Masters.

Rabbin Saini and Col. P S Mangat took the final hole to finish 2 Up against Ajay Bansal and Brig. K J S Puri. Golf Masters’ only pairs point came through Sukhjit Singh Lehal and Brijesh Kumar, who won 1 Up.
