New Delhi, Sep 19 (PTI) The youngest golfer to represent India at the Asian Games, Avani Prashanth has set her eyes on the coveted gold as she believes she has the game to beat the best in business.

The 16-year-old golfer from Bengaluru made it to the Indian women's team after topping the Indian Golf Union's Asian Games 2023 selection trials at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club in Kolkata in April.

"I want to go for the gold medal and win a gold medal for India, but I want to keep that out of my mind as much as possible," said Avani on the sidelines of the launch of the inaugural season of the Trinity Golf Champions League.
