Star Golfer Sudarshan "The Flying Tiger" Yellamaraju Dominates Pre-Tournament Warm-Up to Set Staggering Bar for Indian Future Golf Success!
Sudarshan Yellamaraju of India, and a resident of Canada, is in his first Players Championship and performing well.
Sudarshan Yellamaraju does not have the longest name in the Players Championship field. With 20 letters in his name, second to Christiaan Bezuidenhout of South Africa, with 22 letters. But Bezuidenhout missed the cut, so Yellamaraju takes over as the longest name in the weekend field.
He's also on an early run. After starting the third round on Saturday at 1-over 145 and in a tie for 51st, he birdied four holes in a row, with putts of 6 feet at No. 3, 5 feet at No.
4, a 20-foot roll at No. 5 then a lengthy 34-footer at No. 6.
Yellamaraju's run ended with the miss of a 14-foot birdie attempt at No. 7, but he's sharp in the third round, missing only one green on the front nine and vaulting into a tie for 23rd after two-putt pars at Nos. 8 and 9 for a front-nine 32.
