Mehar Atwal has clinched the Usha Southern India Ladies Amateur Golf title. She managed to hold off Vani Kapoor in a tense see-saw battle on the third and final day in Bengaluru on Thursday. Leader by five shots after two days, Mehar almost gave away the title with a string of errors, till Vani undid all her good work with a disastrous double bogey on the 18th and final hole at the KGA on Thursday . It was a magnificent rally by Vani Kapoor as she made up the gap of five shots to get to the 18th tee tied with Mehar at three-over for the tournament. A blazing Vani was one-under for the day through for 17 holes. But while Mehar held her nerve and racked up a birdie on the 18th, holing a good seven-footer to finish at 75, Vani struggled on the same hole after playing superbly through the day. Mehar's total was two-over 218, while Vani, despite the day's best card of 73, ended second at 221. Tvesa Malik (76) was third at 227, and Gurbani Singh (80) fourth at 232. The next event for the Ladies is the Usha Western India BPGC Open in Mumbai at the BPGC Course from October 10.
