From attending Ernie's clinic in 2008, Shubhankar dreams of making his team

India's newest golf star Shubhankar Sharma plans to fight his way into the 2019 Presidents Cup, as one of his early inspirations, Ernie Els was named captain of the International team.

"It would be fantastic if I can make it to the Presidents Cup. It'll be a dream come true," said Sharma.

"But in saying that, it's in 2019, we still have a year and a half to go. I don't want to get ahead of myself just yet. Anything is possible if I continue to play really well and break into the top-50 in the world."
"I went on to hit two great shots, which went towards the 100-yard marker. That was one of the best memories I have of Ernie and he was kind enough to give me his card and after signing it, he said I'll be a great player one day if I kept practicing. And for a kid like me who was only 10 at that time, it just made my day."
"I think it will be a lot of fun. The intensity and the passion that the players have, I'm sure it's a great event. If I can get into the Presidents Cup in 2019, it'll be really fantastic."
