San Ramon teen wins national golf championship
San Ramon’s own Nakul Shrivastava was among two winners crowned in this year’s First Tee National Golf Championship at the University of North Carolina earlier this week.
“I’m feeling pretty good, very excited that I got to win this, and it was a really good opportunity,” said Shrivastava in a press release Thursday. “No matter how nervous I got or doubted myself this week, I just remembered confidence is key. I just persevered through that, and I played pretty well.”
Despite his young age as a rising junior, Shrivastava boasts a long tenure with First Tee Tri-Valley, having golfed with the organization since he was 6 years old. He took home the boys’ championship after beating out the 23 other competitors from across the country at the conclusion of the tournament that was held from June 21 to June 25.
Shrivastava and his fellow winner, Arizona’s Ashley Shaw, are now gearing up for the PURE Insurance Championship in Florida in September.
