Jasmin Shekhar Claims Second Title of the Season at WPGT 2026

Jaipur, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : In a thrilling finale at the Women’s Pro Golf Tour (WPGT) 2026, Jasmin Shekhar clinched her second title of the season, extending her lead to two shots. The event took place at the Ram Bagh Golf Club in Jaipur on November 14, 2026.

The 21-year-old from Bengaluru maintained her composure, finishing the final round with a score of 1-over 71. She outperformed two of India’s most experienced players, Vani Kapoor, who scored 72, and Riddhima Dilawari, who finished with 74.

Throughout the tournament, no player managed to score under par. Jasmin concluded with a total score of 5-over, having carded rounds of 74, 70, and 71. Vani Kapoor ended the three-day tournament at 7-over (75-70-72), while Riddhima finished at 9-over (74-71-74). Shweta Man Singh claimed fourth place with a total score of 10-over (74-75-71).

Jasmin has been a standout performer on the domestic circuit this year. She kicked off her 2026 season with a victory in the first leg held in Mumbai. Following that, she came close to winning on several occasions, finishing as the runner-up at both DLF Golf and Country Club and JP Wishtown. At Ram Bagh, she finally converted another opportunity into a title, becoming the third player to win multiple times this season, joining Riddhima and Vani.

This victory was particularly significant as she faced strong competition from Vani and Riddhima, both of whom had impressive seasons. Before the final round, Vani and Riddhima were tied for second place, armed with the experience and form necessary to challenge Jasmin. Vani had recently finished as the runner-up at the Hero Women’s Indian Open in Jaipur, marking her best result in the Ladies European Tour career. However, Jasmin seized the moment and transformed it into a remarkable win.

The Ram Bagh Golf Club course, with its par-70 layout, proved to be a tough challenge for players throughout the week. Scoring was difficult, and achieving under-par scores was a significant hurdle.

Only one round during the tournament was under par, achieved by Tvesa Malik, who scored an impressive four-under 66. Despite her outstanding performance, Tvesa finished tied for seventh, highlighting the challenging conditions. She shared this position with Ananya Datar, who had been tied for the lead with amateur Ojasvini Saraswat in the first round.

Jasmin showcased solid and steady play on the final day, facing bogeys on the second and fifth holes. However, she quickly recovered with a birdie on the par-3 sixth hole and maintained par on the next five holes. A birdie on the 12th hole further solidified her lead, making her victory nearly certain, even after a bogey on the 17th hole.

Vani struggled on the front nine, recording two bogeys without any birdies. She managed one birdie on the back nine but ended with another bogey on the 18th hole. Had she made a birdie on the final hole, the match could have gone to a playoff, but she ultimately lost by two strokes.
