A month after winning the second leg of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour as an amateur, young Pranavi Urs will make her debut as a professional in the third leg of the Tour at the TNGF Cosmo Golf Course in Chennai on Wednesday.

The budding golfer, though, will face a tough competition from the likes of Vani Kapoor, Ananya Datar, Amandeep Drall and amateur Sneha Singh.

Pranavi is having a great season so far, finishing second behind Ridhima Dilawari in the first leg and then winning the second leg. She has won more than once as an amateur and will now look forward to her maiden success as a professional.

Vani, who has not won on the domestic Tour since the opening leg of the 2018 season, has in the past two years been playing more on the international circuit. However, the 2019 season didn’t turn out to be too good for her. Having missed her card through the LET Q-School recently, she will be looking to get back to winning ways and try to recapture her form.

Ananya took home the winner’s cheque in the second leg despite finishing behind Pranavi, who was then an amateur.

Panchkula’s Amandeep, who also failed to qualify in the LET Q-School Final stage last month, will be looking for some gains at home.

Sneha, who has already won once on the Women’s Pro Golf Tour last year, will be hoping to make a mark once again.

Some of the other top Indian stars are busy in Australia, where they will play in the two LET events. Diksha Dagar, Ridhima Dilawari and Astha Madan will be playing in Australia over the next few weeks at the Australian Ladies Classic Bonville and the New South Wales Open. — TNS/PTI
