WPGT: Pranavi confident as she chases fourth win of season

Bengaluru: Pranavi Urs is full of confidence having begun the second half of the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour with a win last week. The WPGT stays in the Southern metro for the second week in a row and Pranavi would look to take her tally of wins to four this season.

This is the eighth leg of the WPG Tour and the purse this week is Rs 12 lakh. The field includes all the regulars -- Jahanvi Bakshi, Ridhima Dilawari, Seher Atwal, Neha Tripathi, Afshan Fatima, Astha Madan -- and others. Jahanvi will not have the company of her sister Hitaashee, who is missing this week, too, on account of her school examinations.

However, Gaurika Bishnoi is back having recovered from indisposition and Meher Atwal, too, is back in the field after missing the last event.

The amateurs to watch out for will include Vidhatri Urs, who was third overall last week behind Pranavi, and Asmitha Sathish. Rishika Muralidhar had a great opening round but slipped thereafter.
