Kolkata: Kolkata’s Neha Tripathi carded one-over 71 in the final round to win the fourth leg of the Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour at the Tollygunge Club here on Friday. Amateur Tvesa Malik finished with a total score of 214 to take the second position, followed by Smriti Mehra at 217. The INR 6,00,000 event culminated yesterday.<\/p>\n
Neha carded two bogeys on the 5th and 9th holes along with a birdie on the 7th. She added three more birdies on the 13th, 15th and 17th holes while dropping shots on the 12th, 14th and 18th to finish the round with a total score of 211 after 54 holes. This is Neha’s second victory in as many weeks. Overnight joint leader Tvesa Malik could not sustain her second round momentum and carded 4 over 74 to finish second on the leaderboard. She carded two bogeys on the 3rd and 8th holes along with a birdie on the 7th in her front-nine. She added another birdie on the 10th hole but bogeys on the 11th and 12th along with a double on the 14th spoilt her chances of winning her second title on the Tour.<\/p>\n
Kolkata’s Smriti Mehra started impressively, playing a bogey-free front-nine with four birdies on the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th holes.

Pune’s Shweta Galande carded 4 over 74 in the final round.
