The Story in Brief
Harjai Milkha Singh and Ishnidh Singh Virdi will compete for the boys' title, while Guntas Kaur Sandhu and Rashi Mishra will battle for the girls' crown at the R&A Amateur Golf Championship in Scotland. The Indian Golf Union sent the four-member team, accompanied by managers Deepinder Singh Kullar and Saaniya Sharma.
The first two rounds are strokeplay, after which 64 players from each of the 144-player fields progress to matchplay. The boys' event is at Glasgow Gailes Links, the girls' at Edinburgh Craigielaw. Both championships are among the most prestigious in junior golf, with past winners including major champions.
The Indian Opinion
Much coverage frames these events only as 'exposure' for Indian juniors, but they are genuinely competitive fields with 144 entrants from over 30 countries. The real measure of progress is whether our players can advance from strokeplay into matchplay. Only 64 of 144 do. Watch how many of the four Indians make that cut, that number will tell us more about junior development than any quote about Scottish weather.
