Pro Golf Tour: Sneha Singh overcame a horrific start to produce a brilliant run through the middle of the final round of the second leg of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour (WPGT) at the Tollygunge Club. Overall she had seven birdies and four bogeys in her final round. The 20-year-old from Hyderabad shot 3-under 67, the best round of the week, to total 4-under 206 and won by eight shots over the more experienced Vani Kapoor (74), who had four bogeys and no birdies on the final day.
Sneha, who after winning multiple times as an amateur has won twice in each of the last years as a professional, started the final day with a one-shot lead, but both she and Vani bogeyed the first, third, and fourth. However, Sneha recovered after that with birdies on the fifth, seventh, and eighth to turn in even-par. In contrast, Vani had only pars and from being one behind at the start of the final round, she was four behind Sneha with nine holes to go.
On the back nine, Sneha birdied three times in a row from the 11th before dropping a shot on the 14th. She quickly made up with a final birdie on the par-4 16th for a 67. Vani dropped a shot on the 11th and parred the rest. Frustrated with her putts not falling, she had no birdies through the round. Her 74 gave her the second-best aggregate at 4-over 214.
