Rashi Mishra, in the absence of top three amateur golfers, will be the cynosure in Pune
With India’s top three amateurs away on national duty at the Queen Sirikit Cup, the spotlight firmly shifts to Goa’s Rashi Mishra in the IGU Pune Ladies & Junior Girls Golf Championship, which begins at the Oxford Golf Resort in Pune on Wednesday.
India No. 1 Guntas Kaur Sandhu, Ceerat Kang and Keya Badugu are competing in Indonesia this week. It’s a huge opportunity for the field to climb the Order of Merit while the leaders are away.
Besides Rashi, Priya Kumari, Janneya A Dasanniee, Anushka Gupta, winner of the season opener, are some of the other contenders in the draw for the third event on the IGU calendar.
Competition will be held in four categories: Ladies, Category ‘A’ (15-17 years), Category ‘B’ (13-14) and Category ‘C’ (11-12).
