Quotes
Vishesh Sharma
Nineteen-year-old Hyderabad professional golfer competing in his second DP World PGTI season
“I was quite rusty when I came back and couldn’t move the ball the way I wanted. I worked with my coach before last week’s Telangana Open and started seeing my preferred ball flight again. The top-10 finish there gave me the confidence I needed, and that progress showed today.”

“Today’s round was very special, particularly because it came at my home course. Everything seemed to go my way. I putted well, struck some good shots and, despite a slow start, stayed patient and kept returning my focus to the present.”
