Any junior tournament at the Delhi Golf Club (DGC) evokes overwhelming response, and it was no different on Friday at the NCR Cup, the Delhi Golf Society’s 3rd junior tournament. For many of those competing in Categories A and B, it was a dream come true to tee off at the Lodhi Course, the venue of many pitched battles during the Hero Indian Open and other Asian and European Tour events.
Competition among the big boys was a keen one with Krishnav Chopra emerging top with a score of 2-over 74. A shot back in Category A was Vedant Sirohi while Rohan Galhotra and Arin Ahuja carded an identical 77. Among girls in the section, Sharanya Sah, Heena Kang and Ragini Navet/Mahima Aggarwal followed in this order with scores of 82, 83 and 84 respectively.
