India’s winners included 14-year-old Arjun Bhati, who has been raking accolades for his outstanding performance. He won the top spot in the boys’ 13-14 group. Dubai-based Aarnav Nath won Gold in boys-12 followed by Gurnavjeet Singh Bhatia (boys-11) and Kartik Singh (boys-8).

 

 

Arjun Bhati till now has played 136 events and won 106 of them.  When 4moles.com got up close and personal with him for a brief and exclusive interaction, he quipped, “I am happy the way my career is shaping up. I would really love to win a Gold medal for India in the Olympics. That’s my dream.”

 

 

Among the other medallists was the chip of the old block Harjai Milkha Singh, son of India’s most famous golfer Jeev Milkha Singh, who caddied for his young son.
