The result followed her historic individual gold medal at the Asian Games in Japan and further underlined her growing stature on the international circuit. Fresh from a second consecutive top-four finish at the Hero Women’s Indian Open, Pranavi Urs will look to carry her encouraging form into the USD 1.2 million Wistron Ladies Open, which begins at Sunrise Golf and Country Club on Thursday. Pranavi, the only Indian in the 108-player field, arrives in Chinese Taipei after another strong showing at DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram, where she finished tied fourth at three-under 285.
For Pranavi, the week offers another opportunity to test herself against established international players and build on the consistency that has marked her recent performances. The former world No. Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum also arrives with plenty of confidence after a memorable week in India.
The tournament runs from October 29 to November 1. 1, who won the inaugural Women’s Indian Open in 2007, returns home with renewed confidence after finishing tied third at the Aramco Korea Championship earlier this month. The 36-year-old created history by winning the Women’s Indian Open for a record fourth time, producing a bogey-free seven-under 65 in the final round to finish at 11-under 277.
“I can’t believe I won at DLF for the fourth time. I’m very happy. The win means a lot to me.
It shows me I can still do it and play well,” said Phatlum, who has now secured her place in this week’s tournament.
