World Amateur Team Golf: Rakshit Dahiya carded an even-par 72 in testing conditions at the Tanah Merah Country Club (Tampines Course) here on Wednesday to end the opening round as the best-placed Indian in the World Amateur Team Championship (WATC) for the Eisenhower Trophy.

Dahiya, the Delhi NCR Cup 2025-winner, was placed tied 28th, seven strokes behind leader Hiroshi Hirahara Tai of Singapore. Team India ended the opening day in T-18th position among 36 nations in the overall standings.

Part of the three-member team sent by the Indian Golf Union (IGU), National Sports Federation for golf, Rakshit didn’t have a desired start to his WATC campaign, with bogeys on the second and fifth holes. But he made amends by draining birdies on the 12th, 16th, and 17th holes. However, bogey on the finishing hole meant he slipped more than 10 places on the leaderboard.
