Golf: Anshul Mishra In Sight Of Top-10 As Four Indians Make Cut In AAC In Dubai
Asia Pacific Amateur Championship: The reigning All India Amateur champion, Anshul Mishra, was in sight of a Top-10 finish in his maiden appearance at the 16th Asia Pacific Amateur Championship. The Kolkata lad, Mishra, who opened with an even par 72 on the first day, shot 3-under 69 to get to 3-under for two days and was placed Tied-13th in what is one of the premier amateur events in the world. The winner gets a place in the 2026 Masters and the 2026 Open.
Mishra was eight shots behind the leading trio of Rintaro Nakano (67-66), Khanh Hung Le of Vietnam (66-67), and Australia’s Harry Takis (67-66). They were all 11-under at the Majilis Course at the Emirates Golf Club. Japan’s Taisei Nagasaki (67-67) was third at 10-under with Australian Harry Takis, who had two more holes to play. Thailand’s Fifa Laopakdee (66-69) was fifth at 9-under.
Mishra, who turned 17 just three days ago, was the top Indian at the halfway mark as four of the five Indians who started the week made the cut. Mishra, who was trying to keep bogeys off his card, did have one on the 16th after starting from the tenth. He was, however, pleased that he picked three of his four birdies on Par-5s.
