Leg Hero Honda Women's Pro Golf Tour - Day 3 - 7th

December 16th 2010, Chandigarh: The final round of 7th leg of Hero Honda Women’s Professional Golf Tour started with slight foggy in early morning at the picturesque Chandigarh Golf Club. As the day advanced weather got quite clearer. The overnight defender Smriti Mehra started with a bogey at 1st hole and then after a pair of pars. Simi dropped a shot on 4th green and again a bogey. She was 2 over till 6th hole and a birdie at 7th hole made her finish first nine 1 over. In the later half Simi started with pair of bogeys and then a pair of birdie thus she was just 1 over till 16th hole. Her misfortune forced her to drop two shots each at par 4 17th and 18th hole. Thus after three days total Ms. Mehra returned a score of 13 over and is at first position. Simi conveyed the message of “hard work and concentration” to all other participants especially Neha Tripathi who is runner-up, just a shot behind the Simi.



Smriti Mehra
Neha Tripathi started with a birdie but was unfortunate to miss a putt each at 2nd, 3rd and 4th hole. She tried to make a good comeback by shooting a birdie at par-3 8th hole and with this she also was 1 over after first nine. With the help of 3 birdies in back nine she was 2 under till 16th hole. She too got misfortune to drop a shot on 17th hole and missed 2 putts on 18th hole and thus returned a card of 1 over for the day and 14 over in total. Neha has got best score for the day.

The long hitting pro from Chandigarh Saaniya Sharma’s start was not as predicted. With 3 bogeys, 1 double bogey and a lone birdie she scored 4 over in first nine. She shoot an eagle at 10th hole and a birdie at par-5 13th hole which led her score to 2 over for the day and 17 over in 3 days total. She was quite happy with her game in later half. Saaniya’s EAGLE is the only eagle in this tournament and with this she is at 3rd position.

Tanya Wadhwa and Nalini Singh (Siwach) too played better rounds and proved their potential by hitting a round of 3 over and 5 over respectively for the day. With a shot difference Tanya is at 4th position while Nalini has grabbed 5th position.

The young lass from Banglore -Sharmila Nicollet who was just four shots behind the overnight leader Smriti Mehra, played very indifferent round today. With a total of 20 over in three days total she is at 6th position. Preetinder Kaur and Pallavi Jain missed to make any money played 14 over each.

For reasons best known to the players we did not get outstanding score which in some ways is a little disappointing. We hope to see good golf in 8th leg of Hero Honda Women’s Professional Golf Tour 2010-11 at Qutab Golf Course Lado Sarai-New Delhi from 20th – 23rd Dec 2010.
