NEW DELHI: SSP Chawrasia and S Chikkarangappa will be representing India at this year’s World Cup of Golf slated to be held at the Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne, Australia from November 23 to 27.

Chawrasia, who represented India at the Rio Olympics earlier this month, got a late spot in the event following the withdrawal of Paraguay’s Fabrizio Zanotti.

The 38-year-old Chawrasia, a winner of four international events, including three on the European Tour, picked 22-year-old Chikkarangappa as his partner, who is a winner of two events on the Asian Development Tour (ADT).

Both Chawrasia (world rank 234) and Chikkarangappa (439), will be making their debut at the event.
