Theegala In Top 10 As Indian-origin Golfers Make Their Mark At The Halfway Stage Of US Open

By IANS News June 20, 2026 • 17:04 PM View: 151

Indian Golf Premier League: Sahith Theegala emerged as the leading Indian-origin golfer at the halfway stage of the 2026 U.S. Open after producing one of the finest rounds of the day to surge into the Top-10 at Shinnecock Hills.

The Californian's composed three-under 67 lifted him from tied-49th overnight to tied-seventh at one-under-par, while fellow Indian-origin stars Akshay Bhatia and Aaron Rai also climbed the leaderboard with impressive second-round performances to remain firmly in contention heading into the weekend.

The strong showing by the trio ensured Indian-origin golfers remained a significant presence at one of golf's toughest tests, even as Wyndham Clark continued to dominate the championship with a record-setting performance.
