Rookie Amandeep bags maiden win as professional

Rookie Amandeep Drall registered her first victory on the Hero Women's Professional Golf Tour when she walked away with the winner's cheque in the 12th Leg here today.
After several good performances and three runners-up finishes, Amandeep finally secured the elusive win with a total of 217 after 54 holes.
With this win, she has now consolidated her position at second place in the Hero Order Of Merit with total earnings of Rs 8,84,935 from 12 appearances.
The Panchkula youngster played a birdie-free round with a lone bogey on the first hole. She ended the day with a score of one-over 73, which was enough for her to protect her one shot lead over runner-up Vani Kapoor, who finished with a total of 218.

Vani, the Hero Order of Merit leader, who had been hot on Amandeep's heels throughout the event, carded two birdies on the eighth and 10th holes. But a bogey on the second, along with a double bogey on the seventh meant that she could not erase the deficit to force a play-off, thus securing the runners-up position.
Vani has now strengthened her position at the top of the leaderboard with total earnings of Rs 12,70,200 in 12 appearances, with four wins and five runners-up finishes.

Kolkata's Neha Tripathi ended with a total score of 221 to finish third. Neha fired four birdies but six bogeys cancelled out the effort and saw her end the final day with a score of two-over 74.

She now moves to the third position in the money list with total earnings of Rs 7,82,766 in 12 appearances.
Hero Motocorp sponsored Sharmila Nicollet, Kapurthala's Gursimar Badwal and amateur Trisha Sunil ended with identical scores of 225 to finish tied fourth.
