Gurgaon: Consistency is what she has been known for, and it was this quality that saw Delhi golfer Vani Kapoor emerge victorious in the fifth leg of the Hero Women`s Professional Golf Tour 2014, here today.
Vani walked away with her third winner`s cheque at the ITC, Classic Golf Resort. The Delhi girl finished her third round with a score of one over 73 and a total score of 215 after 54 holes. Vaishavi Sinha finished as the runner up, four shots behind Vani with a total of 219 after the third and final round. Vani, who currently leads the Hero Order of Merit 2014 with total earnings of INR 4,95,000 after 5 appearances, had to fight difficult conditions on the course. Vani`s round, unlike other days, consisted of just one birdie on the 18th hole and two bogeys on the 4th and 8th holes. It was a great day for Vaishavi Sinha who walked away with her first runner up cheque in the current season. Her round consisted of a total of 4 bogeys on the 1st, 6th, 7th and 16th holes along with two birdies on the 3rd and 11th holes. Chandigarh girl Saaniya Sharma`s round was one of mixed fortunes. In difficult conditions, Saaniya carded four birdies, the maximum for any player on the day. Her birdies came on the 6th, 8th, 12th and 14th holes, but what spoilt her show was a series of bogeys and double bogeys in the final round. She carded a total of three bogeys on the 2nd, 9th and 10th holes along with two double bogeys on the 3rd and 16th holes. Sanniya finished third with a total score of 221 after 54 holes.
