After a tight error-filled front nine, Neha totaled 226 to finish three clear of Smriti Mehra (76) and five ahead of Vani Kapoor (76).<\/p>\n<p>It was a good start for Neha, who went through 2012 without a win and was ranked fourth in the Hero Order of Merit. Neha\u2019s last win came in the 2011-12 season. Overall it was Neha\u2019s third title on the WGAI Tour, which started in 2009-10.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Smriti, a 16-time winner on WGAI, was second at 229 and Vani ended third at 231.

When Neha double bogeyed the third and Smriti birdied the same, there was a three-shot swing to reduce the lead to four for Neha. Smriti eagled the fourth and Neha birdied it but the gap was now down to three.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Neha gave Smriti a further opportunity as she dropped another double bogey on sixth and a bogey on seventh before picking a birdie on ninth. Smriti parred from fifth to ninth and turned in 36 as compared to Neha\u2019s 39, reducing the lead to just one shot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then Smriti lapsed into a series of errors with four bogeys on back nine, while Neha managed to limit the damage with just two bogeys and emerged a winner by three shots.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Vani bogeyed three times in last four holes to drop from a possible second place to third with a card 76. In all Vani had two birdies and six bogeys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The second leg of the 12-event Tour will be held at Tollygunge Club from February 4 to 7, followed by the third leg in BPGC, Mumbai from February 25 to 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 4px; float: left;\" alt=\"Neha-Tripathi-in-action\" src=\"images\/golf\/Neha-Tripathi-in-action.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"251\" \/><strong>Kolkata, January 31:<\/strong> Neha Tripathi managed to keep Smriti Mehra at bay despite a card of five-over 77 on the third and final day of the opening event of the 2013 Hero Women\u2019s Professional Golf Tour on Thursday.
