Sharma closed with a one-under 70 on Sunday at the Open Championship to finish in a tie for eighth place.
ANALYSIS
Sharma's eighth place result was the highest finish for an Indian-born player in major championship history. In tough conditions on Sunday, his final round was very impressive going bogey-free and adding adding a birdie on the 14th hole. Sharma made only five bogeys for the entire week and ranked sixth in SG: Approach and 17th in SG: Around-the-Green. He now ranks 56th in the Race to Dubai standings and despite missing the last three cuts.
