Kolkata,
February 3, 2014:
The Tollygunge Golf Club, Kolkata is all set to play host to the second leg of
the Hero Women’s Pro Golf tour 2014 which is slated to begin in the city
tomorrow. Vani Kapoor, winner of the first leg will start as a favourite while
local golfer Neha Tripathi will look to rediscover her form of last year, when
she won the Hero Order of Merit. Veteran golfer Smriti Mehra, who also hails
from the City of Joy, will look to establish her dominance in the domestic
circuit.
The
2014 season got off to a great start with Vani making a great comeback to
emerge victorious over Sharmila Nicollet in testing conditions at the Royal
Calcutta Golf Club last month. It was a tough first leg for all the golfers as
scoring was extremely difficult under harsh weather conditions. Shweta Galande,
who finished tied third with Neha Tripathi, showed consistency in the first leg
and will look to put up another good show.
Saaniya
Sharma, Pallavi Jain, Vandana Agarwal, Ankita Tiwana, Preetinder Kaur, Nikki
Ponappa, Meghna Bal, Vaishavi Sinha and Priya Puri will complete the field.
The
Tollygunge golf club is one of the premier golf courses in the country and it
offers some unique challenges to the players in the lush green course.
The Rs. 5,00,000 event is the
second in the series of 14 this year.
