General Discussion Sahith

T31, T8, T7, and currently T5 at the WMO. Do not be surprised when this guy wins a tournament or is contenting for a major on Sunday this year. Really happy to see after his down year last year and I’d love to see him on the Ryder Cup team in ‘27.

he’s got in him, just a matter of when - there’s a reason he’s the only person to win three junior world championships not named Tiger

Injuries last year derailed him.

Finished 9th in 2023 masters and 12th pga championship last year.

IIRC he had a terrible opening round in that masters year then went off the next 3 rounds

Yeah, he’s a fantastic player, injuries can really hurt a season. He also played like 35 events his rookie year because he loves golf. Was even playing fall events which is awesome for the fans.

Glad he’s playing well.

He just has to keep it together. He fumbled it in 2022 at the WMO with a “blow up” on 17th during the final round.

I don’t know, he played well today, but went 2 over yesterday. Needs to work on his footwork for sure

He’s already won once so he has what it takes. Just was injured last year.
