Harjai Milkha Singh triumphs at junior golf championships

Harjai Milkha Singh, son of professional golfer Jeev Milkha Singh and a student of Strawberry Fields High School, Sector 26, claimed a memorable victory at the IGU Southern India Junior Boys Golf Championship 2025, held at the Coimbatore Golf Club.

Showcasing mental fortitude and all-round skill over four demanding rounds, clutch putting, particularly in the final round, were instrumental in keeping Harjai’s score steady under pressure and in harsh weather conditions. His composure on the greens proved decisive, especially as the field tightened on the final day.

He was tied for first place with Siddhant Nathan of Maharashtra (79-73-69-76), whose third-round 69 was the tournament’s lowest. The championship was ultimately decided in a sudden-death playoff, where Harjai maintained his focus and sealed the victory, clinching the title in the Combined A&B Boys category. Nathan finished as a deserving runner-up, also with an overall score of 297.

Other notable performances included West Bengal golfers Varish Mohta (74-74-76-74) and Anshul Mishra (74-75-74-75), who demonstrated impressive consistency throughout the event.

Harjai’s triumph, shaped by his technical finesse and competitive poise, reflects his dedication to the sport and the influence of his father, Jeev Milkha Singh, one of India’s most accomplished golfing icons.
