Spain: The 42-year-old Indian golfing sensation, Shiv Chawrasia has marked the fairways of the Diamond country club with his spectacular shots. He shot a final round of 2-under 70 after rounds of 72-68-73 to finish the T-15 Austrian Open.
Chawrasia shot a final round of two-under 70 after rounds of 72-68-73 to finish T-15 at the Austrian Open.
After almost 2 years Shiv Chawrasia has produced his best at the European tour. Last week he capped off the game by climbing up to the 15th rung of the Austrian Open leaderboard. This was indeed a moment of pride for him. Following last week’s performance, he has rolled into this week by playing at the Grand Canaria Open in Spain. Unfortunately, his performance seems to be a little bitter-sweet to what his fans had expected.
He quoted in last week’s interview that "I have been playing well off and on. In India, on the PGTI I had some good results including Tied-3rd at Gujarat and Tied-4th at Tata Steel Tour Championships in December. But on European Tour things did not come together," Chawrasia said.
"Though I was in the fray at halfway stage, the third round pulled me back, but I was happy to fight back on the final nine on the final day." Chawrasia's previous Top-20 in Europe was T-18 in Made in Denmark in May 2019.
"I am playing in Spain next couple of weeks and I have always loved Spain and I have good friends. A couple of good results and I am sure the confidence will become better," he said.
The European Tour will be in Spain for the next three weeks comprising Gran Canaria Open, Tenerife Open, and Tenerife Championship. Let’s hope that Indian players like Shiv Chawrasisa, Shubhankar Sharma, and Ajeetesh Sandhu will manage to hold a nice position on the European tour.
