Kartik Sharma’s season stats on PGTI read:

Starts: 18
Cut: 18
Top-10: 9

The ‘Win’ column is blank, and even though the mind wanders that path now and then, Kartik is training himself not to go that way too often.

Going with the nagging consistency he has come to be associated with, Kartik is T6, 136 (65, 71) at the Vooty Golf County. Whether the ‘Win’ column will get a number after the Vooty Masters will be known on Sunday, but after the close shave with glory at the Kapil Dev-Grant Thornton Invitational in September, Kartik knows better that the route to that elusive breakthrough matters more.

“I’m always figuring out the best way to play the golf course; following the process and getting better,” he says.

Rightly so, given the fickle nature of the sport. A win could be lurking around the corner, perhaps a long wait or maybe even a barren run.

In this light, Kartik will keep getting better at “doing the smaller and simpler things” that are in his control, and let the result take care of itself.
