The reigning Queen Sirikit Cup champion had finished runner-up in the Australian Master of the Amateurs event in the previous week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After finishing creditably tied 11th in Melbourne, Avani said, \u201cI had 2 good weeks in Australia. I have improved my finish and my scoring. I think my ability to bounce back from adversity has become much better, I was 5 over, with 2 double bogeys yesterday after 9 holes, yet finished 2 over. Today birdies deserted me on the back 9, otherwise I should have finished better than I did.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe conditions this week were very tough, with rain, 60 kmph winds, temperature at 10 degrees and then - a lot of heat, all these on the same day, on all days of the tournament. I have experienced wind before but nothing like this even in Carnoustie. We don\u2019t experience such winds and therefore judgement becomes very difficult as the ball was moving 40-50 yards in the wind,\u201d the Indian golfer said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Avani started with a fabulous birdie on the opening hole and parred the next three holes before stumbling upon a double bogey on the fifth. She dropped another shot on the eighth before making amends with a birdie on the very next hole. She then birdied on the 13th besides making eight pars on the back nine to reach her four-day tally of three-over 295.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Japan\u2019s Mamika Shinchi clinched the coveted title by a two-stroke margin with an overall tally of 10-under 282. Local hope Amelia Harris had to settle for runner-up finish two shots behind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Another Indian Varun Muthappa ended tied 77th after a disappointing six-over 76 at Yarra Yarra course for a 72-hole tally of 18-over 300.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/01\/aac-avani-prashanth-finishes-tied-at-11th-varun-muthappa-at-77th.jpeg", "alt_img": "AAC: Avani Prashanth finishes tied at 11th, Varun Muthappa at 77th", "alt_title": "AAC: Avani Prashanth finishes tied at 11th, Varun Muthappa at 77th", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "AAC: Avani Prashanth Finishes Tied At 11th, Varun Muthappa At 77th On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "AAC: Avani Prashanth Finishes Tied At 11th, Varun Muthappa At 77th, Yarra Yarra Golf Club: Indian golfer Avani Prashanth continued her impressive run in the Australian Amateur Championship by carding an.", "seo_keywords": "Avani Prashanth, Varun Muthappa, New Delhi, Australian Amateur Championship, Yarra Yarra Golf Club, Queen Sirikit Cup, Australian Master, Mamika Shinchi, Amelia Harris, Another Indian Varun Muthappa, Yarra Yarra", "tag": "", "tagging": "Avani Prashanth, Varun Muthappa, New Delhi, Australian Amateur Championship, Yarra Yarra Golf Club, Queen Sirikit Cup, Australian Master, Mamika Shinchi, Amelia Harris, Another Indian Varun Muthappa, Yarra Yarra", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "aac-avani-prashanth-finishes-tied-at-11th-varun-muthappa-at-77th", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "462", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-01-19 19:14:02", "updated": "2024-01-19 19:14:02", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Avani Prashanth, Varun Muthappa, New Delhi, Australian Amateur Championship, Yarra Yarra Golf Club, Queen Sirikit Cup, Australian Master, Mamika Shinchi, Amelia Harris, Another Indian Varun Muthappa, Yarra Yarra", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-01-19 19:14:02", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "golf", "cnmid": "854202", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/aac-avani-prashanth-finishes-tied-at-11th-varun-muthappa-at-77th-12365" }
