Shubham Jaglan, Ten-year-old Son of a Haryana Milkman, Lifts Junior World Golf Championship Title Sunday July 19,2015

 

Shubham Jaglan, a 10-year-old son of a milkman from rural Haryana, scripted a scintillating one-stroke win at the Junior World Golf Championships being played at Welk Resort Fountain Course in California on Sunday July 19,2015
His three-day total of seven-under par 179 was better than rest of the field to become the Junior World Champion in his age category.
Shubham blitzed the golf course over the past three days with as many as thirteen birdies during his three rounds. Five of them came during the final round which proved to be the difference as he was in the joint lead at the end of round 2.
Shubham, who had missed out last year with a runner up finish but through sheer determination, he made sure he got the top billing this year.
Shubham was taken under the wings of the Golf Foundation pioneered by Arjuna Awardee and Asian Games gold medallist, Amit Luthra.

Young Indian golfer Shubham Jaglan etched his name into the history books once again by clinching his second successive title at the IJGA World Stars of Junior Golf event in Las Vegas.

The 10-year-old prodigy, son of a milkman from rural Haryana, brought home a score of 106 in three rounds to win by five strokes, ahead of two Americans Justin Dang and Sihan Sandhu and Thailand's Pongsapak Laopakdee for the Boys 9-10 years category title at the Angel Park

Former golfer Nonita Lall Qureshi has been training Shubham since he was seven-years old. He was five years old when he started golf, practicing in an agricultural field. He has already won over 100 tournaments
