Ridhima dilawari, Golfer

Tvesa Malik and Gaurika Bishnoi's return to action for the fourth leg of the Women's Pro Golf Tour will enhance the intensity of the competition as another new high of 38 starters will be achieved this week at the Poona Club Golf Course.The fourth leg in 2021, which will be combined with the nine legs held in 2020 for a consolidated Order of Merit, will offer Rs 10 lakhs.After Ridhima Dilawari started 2021 with a win in Bengaluru, Pranavi Urs won the second leg in Chennai and then 14-year-old Av Prashanth stunned the field with a superb win in Mumbai that included two rounds of 3-under 67 on the first and third days. She would be looking to become the first player to win back-to-back titles while retaining her amateur status. In 2020 Pranavi won the second leg as an amateur but turned professional before the third leg, which also she won.In the first two legs of 2021, amateurs gave an indication of their skills as two of them finished in the top-10. Disha Kavery was fourth in Bengaluru and Sneha Sharan was T-7, while Sneha Singh and Av were T-7 in the second leg in Chennai. Av then emerged a winner in the third leg to send a warning to the established players.With a whole bunch of young stars like Hitaashee and Jahanvi Bakshi and amateurs like Sneha Singh and Av Prashanth posing a big challenge, the established stars are not going to have it easy.Tvesa, who had a solid 2020 while playing in Europe despite the pandemic, had skipped the first three legs, as had Gaurika Bishnoi, former Order of Merit winner. Now both are back. Tvesa, who is increasingly focusing on the Ladies European Tour, has not won on Indian Tour event since she took three titles in 2019, while Gaurika has not won since her two successes, also in 2019.Meanwhile, Amandeep Drall, who is leading the current Order of Merit, will be hoping to go one better than the second place finish she had in the third leg behind Av.Since the Tour re-started in December, Amandeep has twice finished second behind an amateur. In the seventh leg of 2020, which heralded the re-start of the Tour, Amandeep was beaten to the title by Sneha Singh, and last week Av beat her to the title.V Kapoor, winless since the fifth leg in 2020, Ridhima Dilawari, Diksha Dagar and Hitaashee Bakshi will all be looking to end the drought this week.Pranavi Urs, winner of the second leg, will not be starting this week, as she withdrew with a wrist injury. However, Neha Tripathi, who had also withdrawn in Mumbai after feeling unwell, is back in the fray.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
