Shubham Jaglan, India's 11-year-old golf prodigy, bagged his first-ever US Kids European Junior Championship, by a massive 13 strokes, at the Craigielaw Golf Club in Longniddry, Scotland.
The tournament is a prelude to the prestigious World Championships – which will essentially host the same playing field as the European Championship. In 2015, Jaglan had finished second in the competition.

Re: Other Indian Golfers thread
Is he listed as an Indian? He has Indian parents from Kerala, but was born in UAE, right?

Re: Other Indian Golfers thread
I don't think Indians who are born and/or raised in UAE are entitled to UAE citizenship. I suspect only a special decree from their ruler or someone like that may be needed to get citizenship which they probably use sometimes to import sportsmen to improve their sporting performance.jayakris wrote:Is he listed as an Indian?
