HITAASHEE WINS 11TH LEG OF HERO WPGT

Hitaashee's steady play saw her play the back nine without a blemish and one birdie and that carried the day for her as Pranavi did have three birdies, but she also dropped two shots on the back nine.

Hitaashee Bakshi survived a late charge from the favourite Pranavi Urs to earn her third success of the season in the 11th leg of the Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour at the Boulder Hills Golf & Country Club.

Hitaashee also survived a double bogey on the Par-5 seventh hole on the front nine, to card an even par 72 in the final round.

Sneha Singh, lying one shot adrift and in second place behind Hitaashee, had a rough day with a double bogey, three bogeys against three birdies for a 74 that saw her slip to third place. She still awaits her maiden trophy as a professional, even though she has emerged triumphant as an amateur.

It was expectedly a close battle between the three players in the lead group of Hitaashee, Sneha and Pranavi.
