Glad tidings continue to pour in for Shubhankar Sharma. In a sign of what could lie ahead, Shubhankar broke the course record in a late charge with an eight-under 64 to lie sole second at the halfway mark in the Hero Indian Open on Friday. As SSP Chawrasia’s two-year reign came to an end, a piece of statistic followed the probable successor, Emiliano Grillo, around the DLF Golf and Country Club. Unperturbed by the uncertainties of golf, Grillo maintained that the mentality for the weekend would stay the same -- “hit fairways and greens whether I’m leader or not”. Grillo hasn’t lent much thought to it, but the two have struck a bond ever since Anirban broke through on the PGA Tour after the strong finish at the 2015 PGA Championship.
