BPGC Open Ladies Amateur Golf: An exciting contest between leader Paromita Mukherjee of Bengaluru and Mumbai’s Uma Menon was the highlight of the final day of the 14th WIGA BPGC Open Ladies Amateur Golf Championships, organised by the BPGC Ladies Section, at the BPGC, in Mumbai, on Thursday.

Uma, who was trailing Paromita by one stroke overnight, set the tone early with a remarkable hat-trick of birdies on holes 2, 3, and 4, seizing the lead and putting immediate pressure on the field. However, she could not maintain the momentum, and the experienced Paromita, the current AVT Tour’s top-ranked golfer, displayed exceptional composure and determination, steadily mounting a challenge and ultimately emerging victorious after a closely contested round.

Paromita finished one-over on the front nine as well as the back nine, with one birdie, and a gross score of two-over 72 to finish with a total of 233 and lift the prestigious Mahindra Trophy. Uma finished the final round in 75 for a total of 237 and the runner-up slot.
