By Rahul Banerji 

Tvesa Malik, who has been working her way back to form, will be a hot favourite in the 15^th leg of the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club.

Tvesa, who after two wins on the Hero WPGT went on to win the Ladies European Tour’s Pre-Qualifier – Asia, will have fellow qualifiers Ridhima Dilawari and Jasmine Shekar, for company.

She is one of five players to have won twice this season on the Hero WPGT besides Sneha Singh and Seher Atwal, who occupy the top two places on the Order of Merit. Neha Tripathi and Gaurika Bishnoi.

Even though Sneha (Rs.10,90,667) leads Seher (Rs. 10,09,135) by over Rs.90,000 on the Order of Merit, the race is still open with this event and the next one to come. Also in contention is Neha Tripathi (Rs.9,95,875) in third place.

The next three players, Tvesa, Khushi Khanijau and Jasmine Shekar are also in with a chance of topping the list, with those from second to sixth place within Rs. 80,000 of each other, the WGAI said.

The field for the 15^th leg also includes amateurs Saanvi Somu, Anaahat Bindra, Preitisha K. Gill and Sinjini Mukherjee.
