Quotes
Harjai Milkha Singh
India's number one junior golfer and son of Jeev Milkha Singh
“Right from my junior days, I have been travelling with my father for his tournaments and seeing him play with a relaxed mind taught me a lot of things. He also caddied for me very early in my career and would offer me insights on sport as well as life. And I would discuss things like my swing fault or other technicalities of my game with him on the course all well off the course. He always tells me to follow my routine and process and results will fall in place. And that’s what I followed this year too with four title wins coming on the IGU circuit and to win the IGU Juniors order of Merit.”

“Winning the IGU Order of Merit is a special feeling. Out of the four wins, I cherish winning the IGU Southern India Juniors Coimbatore since it was my first title. To win the title at Ahmedabad too was special as the Kalhar Greens Course is set on an international course design and it challenges one a lot. I would often watch my father’s trophies won as a junior in the cabinet at home and to see my Order of Merit trophy being placed among his trophies as well as my grandfather’s medals is an emotional feeling.”
