Coming off a top-10 finish at last month’s Hero Women’s Indian Open, Gaurika Bishnoi will also be looking for a second straight win on the domestic tour.

The 14th leg of the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour which tees off at the Panchkula Golf Club in Haryana has drawn a field of 33 players, including six amateurs.

Gaurika’s opposition is likely to come Sneha Singh, Ridhima Dilawari, Hitaashee Bakshi, Seher Atwal and Neha Tripathi.

The amateurs to watch out for include Vidhtari Urs, who has been doing very well and Ceerat Kang, both of whom were at the Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific championships in Pattaya, Thailand.

The field also includes Ceerat’s sister, Heena Kang.

Among the top pros who will be missing because they are playing on the LET are Tvesa Malik, Diksha Dagar, Amandeep Drall and Vani Kapoor, while Pranavi Urs is scduled to play the LPGA Qualifying School.

Pranavi is also the current leader on the Hero WPGT Order of Merit.

The event will miss both the defending champion, amateur Avani Prashanth and the runner-up Amandeep Drall, who is playing on the Ladies European Tour this week.
