Golf: Theegala Is First Indian American In Presidents Cup; Matsuyama Star Weapon For Internationals
Min Woo Lee: Sahith Theegala will become the first American of Indian origin to tee off at the President’s Cup this week and he is very excited about it. Theegala, whose father came to the USA from India, and made it his home, says it means a lot to him. Despite him being a rookie, he will play the four-ball in the opening session with Collin Morikawa, a two-time Major winner, against Internationals’ Adam Scott and Min Woo Lee.
Coming from India, his father provided the platform for him to excel, he feels. “For sure. It's pretty wild. I don't think this is what my dad had envisioned when he came over to the U.S. from India. But it means the world that. I know my dad is super thankful for the country and the opportunity it's given him. At the same time, he also took that opportunity. That's the greatness of this country.
“That opportunity has led to my opportunity. And just to be able to give back to the country -- I don't necessarily see it as giving back to the country, but just to play for your country and wear your colours and represent means the world," he said.
