Solid performance from Talwar so far. Three birdies in his first four holes is impressive. With 3 shots back, it's still wide open. Let's see if he can maintain this momentum.
Wah! What a comeback on the 8th and 9th holes! That's the spirit we need from our athletes. Wish Saptak all the best for the weekend rounds! 🏌️♂️
Good to see Indian golfers getting coverage. But I wish our media covered these events more consistently - only when it's a headline does it get noticed. Still, chak de India! 🏆
Talwar is proving that Indian golf talent is on the rise. From Anirban Lahiri to Shubhankar Sharma to now Saptak - the pipeline is strong. Need more tournaments and support back home. 💪
Great job by Talwar. With Gough and Ereno in front, it'll be tough, but golf is a game of patience. Those birdies on 8 & 9 show he's got the finishing touch. Let's go!
So proud! 🇮🇳 More Indians should take up golf - it's not just a rich person's sport
