He was born in India, but according to one of the newest members of the PGA Tour, it was here in Winnipeg where Sudarshan Yellamaraju fell in love with golf.

Yellamaraju played his first competitive round in 2012 at Tuxedo Golf Course finishing fourth overall in the Junior Bantam Championship on the leaderboard at 14-over par 154 shooting back to back rounds of 7-over par 77, just five strokes back of champion John Racciatti Jr. However, his score was good to win the 12 and under division crown, two strokes better than Marco Trstenjak of Elmhurst Golf & Country Club.

Yellamaraju, who credits time at Larters at St. Andrews Golf & Country Club and the Golf Dome for allowing his early development, spoke with Golf Manitoba Director of Communications & Development Brian Munz about the ride it’s been so far and looking ahead to his full time membership on the PGA Tour.
