Amateur Pranavi S. Urs from JWGC, Mysuru, made up for her last week’s final hole disaster by winning the second leg of the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour at the Bombay Presidency Golf Club on Friday.

Pranavi carded one-over 71 for a total of five-over 215, while Ananya Datar shot 73 and lost by two shots. Pranavi celebrated her win by turning professional.

Ananya finished runner-up. Pranavi turning professional will make the competition in the Women’s Pro tour more intense.

On the final day joint leader after the second round, Pranavi had a great start with three birdies in the first five holes, before she dropped a shot on sixth. On the back nine, she had some nervous moments as she bogeyed three times. Ananya, one of the three co-leaders overnight, was unable to capitalise on that.

On the back nine, as Pranavi made mistakes, Ananya was unable to pull in birdies and played even par for the stretch with one birdie and one bogey.

Pranavi dropped a shot on Par-4 12th and another on par-4 14th but Ananya gave away a shot she had gained with a birdie on 13th by bogeying the 14th. At three behind, Ananya still had five holes to put pressure.

Pranavi dropped one more shot on Par-5 16th and the gap was down to two. Over the last four holes, Ananya tried hard but could not hole any birdies as Pranavi won her second title on the Hero WPGT, while still being an amateur.

Pranavi’s earlier win on the Hero WPG Tour came in the ninth leg of the 2018 season.

Ananya Datar leads the Order of Merit after the first two events, while Afshan Fatima is second. Ridhima Dilawari, who won the first event and skipped the second, is third.
