New Delhi: Pranavi Urs prevailed in a nail-biting fight to the finish to claim India’s first-ever Asian Games gold medal in golf on Saturday, beating her nearest challengers Singapore’s Shannon Tan and China’s Yin Ruaning by a solitary shot at the Kasugai Country Club East Course.
India also took the women’s team silver with the trio of Pranavi, Disksha Dagar and Aditi finishing at 14-under behind China, which carded 22-under. Her composure, consistency and belief throughout the competition have been truly impressive. Equally, the women’s team silver medal is a testament to the depth and growing strength of women’s golf in India. We are delighted to see Pranavi, Aditi and Diksha perform on such a prestigious stage and put Indian golf firmly in the spotlight. Their achievements will inspire the next generation of Indian golfers. We at the DP World PGTI extend our heartiest congratulations to Pranavi and the Indian women’s team on this memorable success.”
Speaking on Pranavi’s win, PGTI CEO Amandeep Johl said, “Pranavi Urs has delivered a remarkable performance at the Asian Games, and her historic gold medal is a proud moment for Indian golf.
