Gaurika to face competition from Amandeep at Hero WPG Tour

Gaurika Bishnoi will start as one of the strong favourites when the sixth leg of the Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour tees off on Wednesday at the Jaypee Greens.

The sixth leg will carry a purse of Rs. eight lakh and feature 21 professionals and four amateurs.

With the Hero WPG Tour having five different winners in five events held so far, Gaurika, who won her first title of the 2019 season last week, will have to contend with Amandeep Drall.

Amandeep returns to the domestic Tour after a superb Top-20 performance at the NSW Open in Australia. Although she is considered one of the strongest and consistent players on the home Tour, Amandeep is yet to win in her four starts this season.

Neha Tripathi, current leader on the Hero Order of Merit, and Gursimar Badwal have already registered one win each this year and both will be looking at becoming the first multiple winner of 2019.

Ridhima Dilawari will be playing with similar ambitions.
