Terrific Day

Terrific Day - Saturday

Hockey

The finishing touches in the striking circle just weren't there, they played into the Canada, who slowed down the pace of the game, and not to forget the unforced errors which pegged them down.

Golf

Shubhankar Sharma, 22, became the youngest Indian to clinch the Asian Tour Order of Merit after a groundbreaking year of achievement. He won it even before the finish of the two events of the 2018 session. 

After finishing the sixth at the Hong Kong Open, which was his 11th start in a row and 15th in 16 weeks from the Open de France in June-July, Sharma skipped the Queen's Cup, Mauritius Open and the South African Open, despite a late challenge being mounted by South African Justin Harding.
