Vani Kapoor grabbed her first title in almost 18 months as she edged out Hitaashee Bakshi on the third play-off hole in the 12th Leg of the Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour here on Friday.
Vani's last win had also come at her home course, the DLF Golf and Country Club in March last year. She started the final day three shots behind the overnight leaders, Hitaashee and Vidhatri Urs.
Playing one group ahead of the leaders, Vani was one-under for the front nine, but still trailed Hitaashee who was 2-over for the front nine and Vidhatri, who was even par.
On the back nine, Vani seemed to have lost her chance when she dropped a shot on the Par-4 11th and then gave away a double bogey on the par-4 14th. However, she fought back well with birdies on the Par-4 15th and the Par-3 17th to set a clubhouse target of 4-over 220. Starting the day at 1-over, Hitaashee was 2-over for the front nine, and then dropped a double bogey on the back nine on Par-4 11th. She slipped to 4-over for the tournament with seven holes left.
She needed a birdie over the last seven holes to forge ahead but was unable to find it. She finished at 4-over and ended in a tie with Vani.
