(Reuters) - India's Shubhankar Sharma, fresh off an impressive outing in his PGA Tour debut that made the golfing world take notice, has accepted an invitation to compete in next month's U.S. Masters, the tournament said on Tuesday.

Sharma, who led last week's WGC-Mexico Championship after three rounds before finishing in a share of ninth, will become the fourth Indian player to compete in the year's first major, following Jeev Milkha Singh, Arjun Atwal and Anirban Lahiri.
