US Kids European Golf: Chandigarh’s Nihaal finishes second

Six-year-old Nihaal, unable to find any birdie on the last day, finished sole second. He shot an impressive score of 1 under over three days of the tournament. A student of Vivek High School, Nihaal started playing golf at the age of two and is often seen practising at the Chandigarh Golf Club greens.
