Veer Ahlawat stood 52nd on the Asian Tour Rankings in 2023
27-year-old Veer Ahlawat from Gurgaon, who has shown tremendous form the past two seasons on the Asian Tour, again showed his potential as he carded rounds of 62-71-70-66, to register a tied-13th finish at a total score of 15-under 269 at the US$ 1mn IRS Prima Malaysia Open, the Asian Tour’s season opening tournament for 2024 at The Mines Resort & Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
