"I am very grateful to be a member of the 2021 PGA Tour Canada, Mackenzie Tour. I have been dreaming of becoming a professional golfer since the age of six and to start the journey at such a prestigious tour is truly an honor and I cannot wait for the season to start." - Saptak Talwar

The tournament consisted of one hundred and six players, which was played out at the Mission Inn Resort, Florida from March 2nd - 5th. 

The 22-year old capped off the tournament only six strokes behind the titleholder, Luis Gagne. He took up golf at a very young age of 5. After completing his class 10th, he moved abroad to follow his passion for golf. "The junior golf platform provided by Albatross Junior Tour, India was very crucial in my grooming process, and then moving to International Junior Golf Academy (IJGA) in 2017 allowed me to pursue Division 1 collegiate golf at Sacred Heart University," added Talwar.
