Indian-American golfer Sahith Theegala got off to a blistering start at the 2026 Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral, firing three birdies in his first five holes. He cooled off to end round one with a card of 3-under 69, leaving him tied ninth, four strokes behind leader Cameron Young at the USD20 million Signature Event.
Theegala, who has had four Top-10s this season, showed consistent form and recorded birdies on key holes such as the par-4 2nd and the par-5 10th, continuing his high-level play this season.
Akshay Bhatia shot 2-under 70 and was Tied-15, while Indo-Canadian Sudarshan Yellamaraju was T-52. Young led the field after a blistering bogey-free 8-under 64, followed closely by Jordan Spieth and Alex Smalley at 7-under.
