Shubhankar Sharma finishes tied-8th, best by an Indian at British Open

Shubhankar Sharma

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 here on Sunday.


Sharma, playing his third Open, was the only player on the final day logging a bogey-free round of 1-under 70 for a total of 5-under 279. He finished Tied-eighth, earning a recall to the Open in 2024 also. Sharma’s result was also the second best by an Indian in any Major behind the T-5 by Anirban Lahiri at the 2015 PGA Championships.


The runaway winner was USA’s Brian Harman, who refused to fall prey to nerves as he had six years ago in the US Open. Sharma and Cameron Young were tied eighth at 5-under 279, while Rory McIlroy (68) and Argentine Emiliano Grillo (68) were tied sixth.
