Shubhankar Sharma is on track to post the best ever finish by an Indian at the British Open after competing his third round in a tie for ninth place at drizzly Royal Liverpool on Saturday.
India's Shubhankar Sharma produced the best-ever result by an Indian at golf's oldest Major, the Open Championships, as he finished tied-eighth in Hoylake on Sunday.
Golfing gunslingers Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods sprayed Royal Liverpool with a barrage of birdie bullets to steal the show midway through the opening round of the 143rd British Open on Thursday.
Golfer Rory McIlroy recently raised eyebrows, when he decided to celebrate his Open win with lingerie model, Nadia Forde, at Hoylake, Merseyside.
The world number one mixed five birdies with four bogeys to return a one-under 71 for a 13-under aggregate of 203.
Champion Tiger Woods fired a course record-tying 65 for a one-stroke lead over Ernie Els after the second round of the British Open.
Briton Graeme McDowell fired a flawless six-under-par 66 to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the British Open.
The Indian golfer, playing with World No 1 Brooks Koepka (68), had 17 pars and his sole birdie was courtesy a brilliant 30-foot monster putt.
After being two-under in first five holes, Sharma had a lapse in concentration as he eventually ended with a four-day total of four-over 288 even as a lot of players were yet to finish.
