Shubhankar Sharma Achieves Best Ever Result By An Indian At Open, Finishes Eighth
India's Shubhankar Sharma produced the best-ever result by an Indian at golf's oldest Major, the Open Championships, as he finished tied-eighth on Sunday. Sharma, playing his third Open, was the only player on the final day logging a bogey-free round of 1-under 70 for a total of 5-under 279. He finished Tied-eighth, earning a recall to the Open in 2024 also. Sharma's result was also the second best by an Indian in any Major behind the T-5 by Anirban Lahiri at the 2015 PGA Championships. Jeev Milkha Singh was also T-9 at the 2008 PGA Championships. The previous best by an Indian at an Open was T-27 by Jyoti Randhawa in 2004 at Royal Troon, where the Open returns next year.
