Club News ANIKA VARMA EMERGES BEST INDIAN IN FIFTH PLACE C hristine Wolf buried the ghosts of the past with a bogey-free fi nal round to clinch the Hero Women’s Indian Open for her maiden Ladies European Tour title. Indians had a lot to cheer for as well, with a strong display from top amateur Anika Varma, who fi nished in fi fth place with a 3-under par aggregate of 285 and a fi nal day card of two-under 70. The 15-year-old Anika was one shot ahead of best-placed home professional Tvesa Malik, who was tied sixth at one-under 287. A year ago, Tvesa had fi nished as the best- home golfer at tied 13th alongside Gaurika Bishnoi, so Sunday’s result was signifi cant progress for the LET rookie as well. Anika said, “I was pretty nervous in the beginning but as soon as I hit my fi rst tee shot I felt fi ne. I had a good group (with Sweden’s Emma Nilsson and Manon De Roey of Belgium) today and I enjoyed playing with them. That helped me play well too. I was pretty consistent today, just had one double (bogey) on the 16th. Before that, I was doing pretty good and I didn’t miss a single regulation before the 16th hole, I think only that one and the 18th, which was the highlight of my day.” THE BRITISH SCHOOL OPEN JUNIORS GOLF TOURNAMENT 9th British School Open Juniors Golf Tournament was played at ATS Golf Course Dera Bassi on October 20th 2019. 60 Young Golfers from Amritsar, Dehradun, Patiala, Khanna and Chandigarh participated in the Tournament.
