Atwal to raise awareness about Sikhs at Wyndham
Saddened by the shooting inside a Gurudwara in the USA a couple of weeks ago, Indian golfer Arjun Atwal is planning to raise awareness about Sikhs by distributing saffron ribbons during next week's Wyndham Championships — an event he won two years ago.
Saddened by the shooting inside a Gurudwara in the USA a couple of weeks ago, Indian golfer Arjun Atwal is planning to raise awareness about Sikhs by distributing saffron ribbons during next week's Wyndham Championships — an event he won two years ago.
Atwal said he is deeply affected by the shooting at a Gurudwara in Wisconsin on August 5 when a gunman killed six people and injured four others. “I was in an airport with my wife. We were transiting to somewhere and I saw CNN, and I just had to sit down. I almost missed my connecting flight. It was really sad,” Atwal said. Atwal said his plan is a small initiative to heal the wounds.

The 16-year-old Indian lost to Aleksandar Indjic of Serbia. The consolation that Grover could draw from the event was his final Grandmaster norm.
