The Open Championship, among the oldest and most prestigious golf tournaments in the world, is not synonymous with fine performances by Indians.
It was back in 2004 when Jyoti Randhawa recorded the best performance by an Indian at The Open. Randhawa, who had earned his third appearance at The Open via a good show in the International Final Qualifying tournament, carded a three-over 287 overall to take tied 27th.
With a terrific run over four rounds at the Royal Liverpool Golf Course, Shubhankar Sharma wrote himself into the record book. Shubhankar grabbed the headlines with a tied-eighth finish, comfortably erasing Randhawa’s mark.
