Bengaluru: After showcasing a clinical performance in the last event, Vani Kapoor will look to keep the momentum going in the 9th Leg of the Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour at Clover Greens starting on 22nd June, and will aim to consolidate her position atop the Hero Order of Merit. The INR 6,00,000 event featuring 13 professionals will culminate on 24th June.
Delhi youngster Vani Kapoor is currently leading the Hero Order of Merit by a slender margin. With four wins in five appearances, and total earnings of INR 5,72,200, she is in stellar form, and will be aiming for a hat trick at Clover. She will, however, face stiff opposition from the likes of Neha Tripathi, Gursimar Badwal and Amandeep Drall.
Neha Tripathi is currently placed second in the Hero Order of Merit with total earnings of INR 5,71,433, with two wins in eight appearances, and will be eager to regain the top position. Kapurthala’s Gursimar Badwal, who claimed her maiden professional title this season, is placed third in the money list with total earnings of INR 5,40,200, and will be a force to reckon with.
Panchkula’s Amandeep Drall, who is also the defending champion here, has played some consistent golf in the last year and half and will try to maintain her good form. She is placed fifth in the Hero Order of Merit with total earnings of INR 4,29,534 in five appearances. Her lone win came at Oxford, and she will be keen to return to winning ways. Other players in the fray are Chandigarh’s Saaniya Sharma, Delhi’s Mehar Atwal and Pune’s Shweta Galande.
The picturesque par 71 Clover Greens Golf Course is all set to play host to some of the finest proffessional women golfers in the country.
