Golfer Vani Kapoor played a flawless back nine to carve out a win in the first leg of the 2018 Hero Womens Pro Tour here on Thursday.
Vani, who won four titles in six starts in 2017, carded an even par 72 to finish 5-over 221 and edge out Saaniya Sharma by two shots. Saaniya shot one-over 73 which included a costly double bogey on par-5 14th hole. She also had a bogey earlier on the 11th hole.
Vani picked up a cheque of Rs 1,26,000 while Saaniya earned Rs 1,02,000.
Gursimar Badwal finished third in a tie with Tvesa Malik as both shot 73 each and also finished on the same total of 226.
Veteran Smriti Mehra (76) was fifth with a total of 227 while Neha Tripathi had a bad patch with two doubles and a bogey in between fifth and seventh that ruined her title hopes as she carded 78 to slip to sixth.
