Indian prospect Sharma gets invite to Masters
Print Edition
Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma鈥檚 reward for an impressive run of recent form will be a first-ever major appearance after the rising star was handed an invite to next month鈥檚 Masters on Tuesday.
Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley said the 21-year-old had been offered a spot in the field after a four-month spell which has included two wins and a ninth-place finish at the WGC-Mexico Championship last weekend. 鈥淕olf is a global game, and throughout our history we have extended invitations to deserving international players not otherwise qualified,鈥 Ridley said in a statement. 鈥淎s his results have proven, Shubhankar Sharma is a remarkable young player, and we look forward to welcoming him to Augusta National in April.鈥 Sharma鈥檚 run of form included a victory at the European Tour鈥檚 Joburg Open in December before a win at the Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur last month. He followed that up with a strong performance in Mexico last weekend, where he led after 36 and 54 holes before settling for a share of ninth place. Sharma, the world No. 66, will become only the fourth Indian player to compete in the Masters, following Jeev Milkha Singh, Arjun Atwal and Anirban Lahiri. The Masters takes place from April 5-8.
