Aac academy

Asia Pacific Amateur Champs: It was a good start for the Indians, as Krishnav Nikhil Chopraa emerged as the top Indian in Tied-12th place and Vedant Sirohi, a second timer at Asia-Pacific Amateur Championships, was Tied-16th on a wet, windy, and challenging day at Taiheiyo Golf Club Gotemba.

Chopraa, son of former India cricketer, Nikhil Chopra, shot 2-under 68, his best in three AAC appearances. Sirohi carded 1-under 69 on a day when scoring was tough and only 23 players among the 120 starters shot under par.

Kartik Singh, the highest ranked Indian, rallied from an early double and even reached 1-under, but a bogey-bogey finish saw him score 1-over 71 and was T-31, while Rakshit Dahiya, who attended an AAC Academy camp at the same course, shot 75 and was T-69.
