Vidhatri Urs Shines in Women’s Pro Golf Tour, Hitaashee Bakshi Leads Order of Merit

Hitaashee Bakshi has maintained her lead on the Order of Merit after 11 legs of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour. The standout performer, however, has been Vidhatri Urs, who has won three times in the last three legs, making her the most successful player this season. Despite competing in only five of the 11 legs, Vidhatri is currently ranked seventh.

The top three players, Hitaashee Bakshi, Sneha Singh, and Amandeep Drall, have each crossed the Rs 10 lakh mark in prize money. Hitaashee has earned Rs 11,99,500, Sneha has two wins and Rs 10,41,500, and Amandeep has one win and Rs 10,08,640.

The players were pleasantly surprised by the presence of Dr Pawan Munjal, Chairman of Hero MotoCorp, who is a keen golfer and a major supporter of the sport. Seven players, including one amateur, Nishna Patel, have won across the 11 legs so far. Vidhatri has claimed victory three times in five starts, while Hitaashee and Sneha have each won twice. Anvitha Narender, Amandeep Drall, Gaurika Bishnoi, and amateur Nishna Patel have won once each.

The tour, which began about 15 years ago with just four players, now regularly features 45-50 players, including amateurs, many of whom plan to turn professional soon. Following Hitaashee, Sneha, and Amandeep on the Order of Merit are Khushi Khanijau, Jasmine Shekar, and Gaurika Bishnoi. Vidhatri Urs is seventh, Seher Atwal is eighth, with Shweta Mansingh and Rhea Jha rounding off the top 10.

The 12th and 13th legs of the tour will be held later this month, with the Women’s Indian Open, the only Ladies European Tour event in South Asia, scheduled for next month.
