Exciting Finish at the Women's Pro Golf Tour

In Kolar, Karnataka, Ridhima Dilawari faced a dramatic conclusion to her round, suffering a double bogey on the 18th hole, which led to a playoff against Vidhatri Urs during the tenth leg of the Women's Pro Golf Tour. Both players finished the tournament tied at 2-under 214, with Vidhatri shooting a 73 and Ridhima a 75.

Vidhatri secured her first title of the season, breaking a 21-month winless streak, with her last victory occurring at the Delhi Golf Club in September 2024.

Initially struggling, Vidhatri bogeyed the fifth and seventh holes but made a strong comeback on the back nine, scoring consecutive birdies on the 11th and 12th holes. After dropping a shot on the 17th, she set the clubhouse target at 2-under 214, awaiting the outcome of Ridhima's final pairing.

Ridhima, who began the day with a two-shot lead, faced difficulties with bogeys on the fifth and seventh holes. However, she regained her advantage with birdies on the 13th and 15th holes. Despite leading by two shots heading into the final hole, a double bogey on the 18th allowed Vidhatri to force a playoff.

Vani Kapoor was in contention until the 12th hole, where she was 1-under for the day and 3-under overall. A double bogey on the 13th hampered her momentum, and despite a birdie on the 16th, she finished third at even par 216 after a bogey-bogey finish.

Amandeep Drall struggled in her final round, carding a 4-over 76, which included five bogeys and a double bogey, placing her fourth at 1-over 217.
