Vani Kapoor Wins 2nd Straight Title at Women’s Pro Golf Tour

Gurugram: Vani Kapoor played a perfect back-nine with one birdie and eight pars to card 1-under 71 and register a comfortable three-shot win over Ridhima Dilawari (70) and Rhea Jha (73) in the fifth leg of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour at the Classic Golf & Country Club here on Friday.

It was the experienced Vani’s second straight win, having won the fourth leg last month. One of the most successful players in the history of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour, Vani held at least a share of the lead since Day 1.

The DLF golfer was the sole leader after the first round and then shared the lead after 36 holes with Amandeep Drall and finally cruised to a fine victory at the end of the week. Vani had rounds of 70-75-71 for an even-par 216 over 54 holes, and she was three shots clear of Ridhima (76-73-70) and Rhea (74-72-73).

Vani, who was in a share of the lead with Amandeep at the start, fell back with a bogey on the first. She recovered with birdies on the third and the sixth, and despite dropping a shot on the Par-5 ninth, she was the favourite to add to her tally of titles. IANS
