An amateur Indian golf team won bronze in a team event at the 48-year old Nomura Cup in Fiji on 19 August 2011. The competition witnessed participation by teams from 18 countries. The Indians edged past golf powerhouse and defending champions Korea by five strokes for the third place on the final day. They finished at a four-day total of 865, and 5-under on the final day.
India’s Khalin Joshi, who also finished tied third in the individual category, saved the day for his team with a 4-under 68 as teammates Faldo Series Asian champion Abhijeet Chaddha, reigning All-India winner S Chikkarangappa and Angad Cheema shot average scores. The best of three scores were counted every day for the team total.
The victory at Fiji came a fortnight after Indian golfers bagged silver at the Asia-Pacific Junior Championships.
