Aadil’s dream to play in the Golf World Cup Championship is fulfilled as he is set to play in the US Golf Championship next week. He aspires to bring the World Cup home and is working hard towards achieving his goal with the help of his coaches Jesse Grewal and Dr. Gurmeet Singh. We wish him all the best!!!
Going strong Aadil is set to make his appearance in the upcoming Golf World Cup in the United States next week. The young rising star aged only 14 years upset the full Indian field with very a low scoring ability at Bangalore and Hyderabad during his last two weeks matches. He won both the matches with almost 10 shot margins. With the help of 13 birdies at Eagleton Golf Resort Bangalore, Aadil stunned his rival with 8 shot victory. Not only did he win in the B category (13-15 years) he finished as 2nd runner up in AB (under 18 years) also. With an opening score of 3 under, he finished 69, 74, 77 and 72.
Playing back to back matches he jolted his rival again at Hyderabad Golf course with 9 shots that included one eagle and 10 birdies. Here too he surprised everyone when he finished as 2nd runners up again in AB category in the same match. His scores were 76, 77, 70 and 78.
A Class IX student from Vivek High School Chandigarh, Aadil showed his mettle as he accumulated 324 points from six matches he played in the IGU Circuit so far. Apart from these back to back wins he also finished as the 2nd runner up in Delhi, Gurgaon and Coimbatore tournaments. The rest of the four matches will be played in the winter season. He is just one point behind to be India’s number one player in the IGU merit list of 2015. With a high finish in the Indian squad he will be representing India in the Asia Pacific and Evian Master in Paris in September.
Aadil was quite happy about his win and showing his enthusiasm and excitement he said, “I am going to participate in the World Cup next week in USA. My coach Dr. Gurmeet Singh is specially training me to be focused and how to be in the peak performance zone with my calm and composed mental thoughts. I think I am peaking off at the right time to bring the World Cup back to India this year. With the help of special training session with my coach Jesse Grewal, the NGAI Director, I am able to put my wedge and putter game together to win back to back matches. This experience will be quite useful next week in the States”.
