Shubham jaglan is the reigning junior world golf champion
Early life

Jaglan was born in village Israna, Panipat district, Haryana. His father is a milkman by profession and his family practices Pehlwani. He is receiving his primary education in his village.
Tryst with Golf

A NRI named Kapur Singh started a golf academy in Jaglan's village. Jaglan was enrolled into the academy by his grandfather. Against the wishes of his family and despite the academy shutting down, Jaglan continued his practice on a small piece of land in his backyard. This land was cleaned by his father and converted into a green with three holes. Most of Jaglan's formative training was self-taught from videos on YouTube.

He was later spotted by Delhi Golf Foundation that gave him annual scholarship of INR 2.0 lakh and a membership in the Delhi Golf Club, which in turn helped the father and son to relocate to Delhi to continue his training.
