India’s Veer Ahlawat makes cut at Ras Al Khaimah on DP World Tour

Ras Al Khaimah: India’s Veer Ahlawat made his first cut on the DP World Tour after taking up membership of the Tour. The 28-year-old who played one hole after waiting overnight as darkness had enveloped the Al Hamra Golf on the first day, birdied the 18th and shot 3-under 69 in the second to move into the weekend rounds at a creditable 5-under and was Tied-15th. India’s other DPWT member Shubhankar Sharma also shot 69 on the second day, but his first-round 75 cost him heavily and he missed the second straight cut this season.

Ahlawat, who topped the PGTI Order of Merit in 2024 to earn a card onto the DPWT as per the alliance between the Tours, had finished tied second at the Hero Indian Open at his home course, the DLF Golf and Country Club, a year ago, but he was not a member of the DPWT. He chose to focus on the PGTI and earned a passage into the bigger Tour. Ahlawat dropped a shot early in the second round but picked four birdies after that for a 69. He birdied the third seventh, eighth, and the 15th. Last week Ahlawat and Sharma missed the cut in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. IANS
