Chandigarh lad finishes 3rd at IGU Rajasthan junior golf c’ship
Competing in the 11-12 years Category C, the 11-year-old carded consistent rounds of 74, 70 and 72 for an aggregate of 216, earning a podium spot against a strong national field
City lad Abram Chawla secured a third-place finish at the IGU Rajasthan Junior Boys Golf Championship at Rambagh Golf Club.
Competing in the 11-12 years Category C, the 11-year-old carded consistent rounds of 74, 70 and 72 for an aggregate of 216, earning a podium spot against a strong national field.
The defining moment of his campaign came on the par-5 ninth hole, where he recorded a rare albatross — one of golf’s most exceptional achievements — placing him among a select few in the Indian junior circuit to do so at a national event.
Abram displayed remarkable composure throughout the tournament. After an opening 74, he bounced back with an even-par 70 to stay in contention and followed it up with a steady 72, highlighted by an eagle at the start of his final round.
A student of Strawberry Fields High School, Abram trains under Dronacharya awardee coach Jesse Grewal. He also carries a strong golfing legacy as the younger brother of former India No. 1 junior golfer Krish Chawla. He will next compete in the IGU Haryana State Championship in Panchkula.
