Delhi Golf Club League: Former Asian Games gold medallist golfer 'Bunny' Lakshman Singh termed India's top-ranked player Shubhankar Sharma, and experienced Anirban Lahiri as the country's best golfers of the current generation. Lakshman is also hopeful of the country's potential to produce "some good golfers in the next two to three years".

Lakshman, who is currently playing in the fourth edition of the Delhi Golf Club League (DGCL) with Sterling Swingers, remains optimistic about India's chances of winning an Olympic medal in golf. In the Paris Olympics, Shubhankar finished at T40 to achieve the country's best performance in the sport in the mega event. He surpassed Anirban's previous best finish of T42 at the Tokyo Olympics.

"I can't say too much about that but that's a very high level (Olympics). Yes, we do have really good golfers coming up. We got Shubhankar Sharma, we got Anirban Lahiri and these two are probably our best international golfers. There are some youngsters also coming through. The next Olympics is four years away, who knows there could be a breakthrough. Young Veer Ahlawat is also playing superb golf. So, let's hope (for the best)," Lakshman told IANS on Thursday.
