Jahanvi Bakshi wins for the fourth time in 2020-21 Hero WPGT season

Jahanvi Bakshi wins for the fourth time in 2020-21 Hero WPGT season

The recent “Hyderabad Swing” of the Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour was dominated by Gurgaon’s Jahanvi Bakshi because, in space of two weeks, Jahanvi has won back-to-back events in Hyderabad’s Hyderabad Golf Club, Boulder Hills Golf and Country Club.
 
Jahanvi won both events differently because in the first leg of the “Hyderabad Swing”, Jahanvi was leading in all three days and won Leg 12 by a massive margin of 5 strokes at the Hyderabad Golf Club however, in the next event of the “Hyderabad Swing,” Jahanvi was not leading at all, in any of the rounds but she was in contention by staying inside the top-5 in the first two rounds of Leg 13 at Boulder Hills Golf and Country Club.

Going into the final round, Jahanvi was sharing third place with her sister Hitaashee Bakshi with a two-round aggregate score of four under 140.
At an overall score of -4, Jahanvi was one stroke behind tied round two leaders Amandeep Drall, Seher Atwal who were at -5.
 
On the final day of the event, Jahanvi accomplished the lowest third-round score of 69 to end her tournament at an overall score of seven-under 209.

According to the Tribune, Jahanvi had completed her round before the final group (consisting of Hitaashee Bakshi, Seher Atwal, Amandeep Drall).
 
From the final group, Hitaashee, Amandeep were out of contention after getting final round scores of 73, 72, respectively and that left us with Delhi’s Seher Atwal.

In Seher’s third round she was one under par after fourteen holes with an overall score of -6.

Only four holes were left (15-18), Seher needed to score two birdies/one eagle to either win the match or just a single birdie to force Jahanvi for playoffs.

Bizarrely both didn’t happen because Seher scored four straight even pars in her last four holes (15-18) to end her third round at one under 71.

Seher finished second on the final leaderboard after scoring 70, 69, 71.

Jahanvi at an overall score of -7, won the 13th Leg of Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour by a narrow margin of one stroke.

Leaderboard of selective golfers:

Rank Name R1 R2 R3 Par
1. Jahanvi Bakshi 72 68 69 -7
2. Seher Atwal 70 69 71 -6
T3. Amandeep Drall 72 67 72 -5
6. Hitaashee Bakshi 75 65 73 -3

Jahanvi, who won her fourth Hero WPGT title in time span of eight months (March-November) was ecstatic,

“It feels really amazing and is a matter and moment of great pride. All the hard work and efforts are showing the results and it's such a beautiful moment, especially since it's a back-to-back win after my birthday (16th Nov 2002),” said Jahanvi Bakshi to an emailed query of DKT Sports.
 
DKT Sports asked the professional golfer, how she played on the final day, this is what she said:

“The final day I was not playing in the leader group since Hitaashee was tied with me for the third place too, and she got that spot. Throughout the round I had no clue about the scores that were going on behind. I was just focused and wanting to make as many birdies as possible. Since Hitaashee had had a round of 7 under and Amandeep had had a round of 5 under on day 2, I was sure that the two of them would be charged to have another deep round. It was only after my putt on the 18th hole, that my caddie and all the fore-caddies told me about the situation. I had carded in a 7 under par for three days, and then Seher Atwal was at 6,”

“Under with the last hole remaining. My heart was hammering with anticipation and the possibility of a play-off. In the end, I won and I was very happy to have won the match. My round was steady with a bogey on the 14th but a recovery birdie on the 15th saved me my position,” said Jahanvi Bakshi to DKT Sports.
