Kartik Singh | International Series India Presented by DLF

It was a historic day at DLF Golf and Country Club for Indian amateur Kartik Singh, as he made the cut at International Series India presented by DLF, the youngest ever player from the subcontinent to do so on the Asian Tour.

Singh carded a one-under-par 71, taking him to a four-over total at the halfway stage and safely inside the cut line which fell at eight over.

Having only played one Asian Development Tour event previously this was Singh’s second appearance in a professional tournament, with a field that he could have only dreamed of previously, featuring the likes of two-time Major winner Bryson DeChambeau, home favourite Anirban Lahiri and fellow LIV Golf League star Joaquin Niemann.

The world no.1 Under-15 amateur admitted that familiarity with his home course played to his advantage. He said: “It feels unreal playing with Bryson, because normally I’m looking at him on TV, and here I’m playing with him in the same tournament, so it’s a great experience.

I knew this is my home course, so I definitely have that advantage and then I know if my game is at that level and if I play my game, I’m able to compete with the pros.

“The experience was very good today. Today, I played quite well, I played one under. I was four under after 11 holes, but it’s okay. I mean, I’m still happy with one under par on this course. Yesterday was not that good, but I’m still happy that I was able to make the cut, and hopefully I can play well this weekend.”
