Fourteen-year-old golf sensation Kartik Singh, the youngest to make the cut at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, will lead India’s effort at the 15th edition of the event. This championship serves as a critical platform for emerging talent, with Kartik and fellow Indian golfers aiming for prestigious future invitations.

Kartik Singh, a mere 14 years old, is set to lead the Indian contingent at the 15th Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship (AAC) from October 3-6. Singh previously became the youngest golfer to make the cut at the AAC, marking his rising status in the sport.
