Pranavi looks to extend run of form at Hero WPGT 10th leg

By Rahul Banerji

Form player Pranavi Urs is in line for a fifth win of the season as she tees up at the 10^th leg of the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour at Prestige Golfshire near Bangalore on Wednesday.

Another success for Pranavi, who won last week at the Bangalore Golf Club, will give her half of the 10 events completed at the end of this week. She has also been the runner up at two other events.

It has been a phenomenal run by the Mysore golfer, who at times has had to sit back due to injury, although she is now fully fit.

Seher Atwal will want to end a run of second place finishes – in the eighth leg at the Karnataka Golf Association last month and at BGC last week.

Another one to look out for will be Hitaashee Bakshi, third last week, and the winner of the third and sixth legs of the Hero WPGT.

Sneha Singh, who made her pro debut last week, Neha Tripathi, who has just returned from a stint on the Ladies European Tour, Gaurika Bishnoi and Afshan Fatima will be the others to watch out for.

This is the fourth straight event in Bangalore, two of those at the picturesque Prestige Golfshire.
