"Starting the year, I had it as one of my goals to win an event internationally. People were asking me if it was achievable and I knew it was because I know what I am capable of. I thought I could win and it feels great to have won this event," Kartik said.
Kartik had won the Indian golf union (IGU) western India amateur golf championship 2018, which took place at the Poona golf course.
