Pune, Feb 20 (Ians) : Seher Atwal finally broke through for her maiden professional win as she held her nerve despite three bogeys on the front nine in the final round of the fourth leg of the Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour at the Poona Club Golf Course.
Niece of famous Indian golfer Arjun Atwal, the 22-year old Seher, who started the day with a two-shot lead, shot a final round of two-over 73 but still emerged a three-shot winner over Vani Kapoor (74) and Hitaashee Bakshi (75).
On a somewhat chilly and windy day at the Poona Club Golf Course, there were no sub-par rounds with only three players shooting even par 71.
This was Vani's best result since tying for second in the sixth leg before Covid-19 hit last year. Hitaashee won the last event of 2020 and was runner-up in the second leg this year, indicating good progress.

Pune, Feb 16 (Ians) : Tvesa Malik and Gaurika Bishnoi's return to action for the fourth leg of the Hero Women's ProGolf Tour will intensify the competition.
The fourth leg in 2021, which will be combined with the nine legs held in 2020 for a consolidated Hero Order of Merit, has Rs 10 lakh on offer.
After Ridhima Dilawari started 2021 with a win in Bengaluru, Pranavi Urs won the second leg in Chennai and then 14-year-old Avani Prashanth stunned the field with a superb win in Mumbai that included two rounds of 3-under 67 on the first and third days. She would be looking to become the first player to win back-to-back titles while retaining her amateur status.
