Apgc junior championship

Hong Kong Golf Club: Ranveer Mitroo led the Indian charge by carding a brilliant two-under 69 to be placed tied fourth after the opening round of the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC) Junior Championship here at the Hong Kong Golf Club on Tuesday. The Indian Golf Union (IGU) sent a four-member team to compete in the prestigious tournament.

Ranveer, 16, began his round with birdies on the second and fifth holes before stumbling upon a bogey on the ninth hole. The Delhi amateur bogeyed on the 16th after six straight pars, but the junior India No. 1 for 2024 showed glimpses of top form by making quick amends with back-to-back birdies on the remaining two holes for his eventual tally.

Pleased with his round, Ranveer said, "The round was pretty okay. I made some good recoveries but also some silly errors. My approach for tomorrow is to rest well and analyse my statistics of today, to avoid making the mistakes I made today. I think an overall improvement in decision-making and execution is something I would want to work on."
