The INR 7,00,000 event featuring 16 professionals will commence on 27th July 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Amandeep claimed her maiden professional title at the same venue last year and would look to do an encore. She is currently placed fourth in the Hero Order of Merit with total earnings of INR 6,33,534 and would be keen to improve her position in the Order of Merit.<\/p>\n<p>Another strong contender for the title is Delhi youngster Vani Kapoor. She has been in dream form all season, winning five titles in six appearances. She missed the last tournament due to illness and will look to make a winning comeback to regain the top position in the money ranking. She is currently placed second with total earnings of INR 698200.<\/p>\n<p>Amandeep and Vani, however, will find Neha Tripathi, Gursimar Badwal and local girl Sharmila Nicollet standing in their way.<\/p>\n<p>Kolkata&rsquo;s Neha Tripathi currently leads the Hero Order of Merit with total earnings of INR 712433, winning two titles in 10 appearances this season.

She will be keen to make an impact and grab her maiden title of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Other players in the fray are Chandigarh&rsquo;s Saaniya Sharma, the Delhi trio of Ankita Tiwana, Gauri Monga and Meher Atwal, and Pune&rsquo;s Shweta Galande. <\/p>\n<p>The Par 72 scenic golf course in the Nandi Hills, Prestige Golfshire is all set to host the 11th leg of the Tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/golf\/Amandeep-Drall-5.jpg\" alt=\"Amandeep Drall 5\" width=\"260\" height=\"162\" style=\"margin: 4px; float: left;\" \/>Bengaluru: Buoyed by a comfortable victory in the last event, Amandeep Drall will look to defend her title in the 11th Leg of the Hero Women&rsquo;s Professional Golf Tour 2016 at the picturesque Prestige Golfshire.
