Tvesa Malik managed to stay afloat and keep her nerves as she overcame an over par round to win the sixth leg of the Women's Pro Golf Tour by two strokes at the Rambagh Golf Club in Jaipur today.
Panchkula's Amandeep Drall (72) finished fifth, but managed to stay atop the Order of Merit, which is being combined for 2020 and 2021 season.
Tvesa, meanwhile, ended an 18-month winless drought dating back to 2019, a season in which she won three times.
The Gurugram golfer, who was leading by 3 shots when the final round began, was 2-over after the first four holes but managed to hang in with a birdie on 17th as the leaders started on the back nine.
Jahanvi Bakshi gave Tvesa a run for her money as she came within a shot of the leader with birdies on the 1st and 2nd.
Tvesa and Jahanvi bogeyed the Par-4 3rd hole and the gap of one stayed as both players parred from 4th to 7th. When Jahanvi bogeyed the Par-5 8th, Tvesa pulled two ahead with a par. A par from both on the 9th, the closing hole, ended the race in Tvesa's favour.
Tvesa shot a 2-over 72 for a total of 1-under 209 as Jahanvi carded 1-over 71 and finished with a card of 1-over 211.
Tvesa's last win was in September 2019, while Jahanvi won last week.
Amateur Kriti Chowhan showed her familiarity at the Rambagh course with the day's best card of 1-under 69 to finish third. She had four birdies against three bogeys.
Hitaashee Bakshi (71) was fourth and Amandeep Drall (72) was fifth.
Ridhima Dilawari (77) was sixth, Vani Kapoor (73) seventh, and amateur Avani Prashant (77) eighth. Ananya Datar (75) and Seher Atwal (76) completed the top-10.
