Pranavi fires 66 to finish in top 20 as Aditi ends tied 17th in London
Published on: 

Pranavi Urs bounced back with a brilliant 7-under 66 in the final round of the PIF London Championship to finish tied 19th at the Centurion Club, while fellow Indian Aditi Ashok closed with a 4-under 69 to claim tied 17th.

Pranavi, backed by Hero, had started the final round outside the top 30 after a disappointing 78 in the third round, but produced the best round of the week to climb 12 places. She finished at 5-under 287 after rounds of 70-73-78-66.

The 66 was a timely reminder of Pranavi’s ability to score low. She had been tied 12th after the opening two rounds before her third-round stumble threatened to undo the good work. However, she responded emphatically on Sunday, producing a bogey-free 7-under round to return to the top 20. Aditi was consistent over the closing stages. The five-time LET winner shot 69 in the final round to finish at 6-under 286, good enough for tied-17th. She steadily improved through the tournament and ended with a strong result after rounds of 73-72-72-69.

However, for Diksha Dagar, it was a disappointing finish to an otherwise solid season. The current top Indian on the LET Order of Merit closed with a 6-over 78 to finish tied 46th at 3-over 291 after rounds of 75-70-72-78. Diksha’s result saw her drop from eighth to 10th in the Race to Costa del Sol standings, though she remains comfortably the leading Indian on the LET Order of Merit.
