Pranavi Urs: A Consistent Season Cap

Urs ended the week at nine-under 279, with rounds of 70-68-73-68 at Sunrise Golf and Country Club. Her final round featured three consecutive birdies on holes two, three, and four, followed by a bogey on the fifth. On the back nine, she converted birdies on the 10th, 13th, and 17th holes, with a bogey on the 12th.

The result adds to a season that has also included two top-5 finishes, one of which came at her home event, the Women's Indian Open. Urs remains the top-ranked Indian woman golfer on the tour and has shown consistent form across the season's final stretch.

Alexander Seals Title and Order of Merit

Alexander opened the tournament with a 64 (-8) and produced rounds of 71-68-64 over the remaining three days to finish at a commanding 21-under-par. Her flawless closing 64 included birdies on the third, sixth, ninth, and 10th holes and a crucial eagle on the par-5 13th, before she added birdies on 16 and the 18th to seal the win.

It is Alexander's fourth LET title overall and her third victory in five appearances on the tour this year, having previously won the KPMG Women's Irish Open and the Buccellati Ladies Italian Open in 2026. The world number 27 now sits atop the LET Order of Merit standings with 3,456.48 points, having clinched the title with two events remaining.

'That was pretty spectacular; that's the most comfortable I have felt in a final round,' said Alexander. 'I wouldn't say I hit it unbelievable today either, but I just walked off and signed for an eight-under. I made birdies where I needed to, and I made some clutch pars. Pretty spectacular and pretty special. I'm upset that my husband is not here, but that's alright!'

Leaderboard: Final Standings

England's Hannah Screen finished in solo second place at 18-under-par after a final-round 66 (-6) — her best-ever LET result. Screen made six birdies across her final 10 holes in a strong late charge. Pei-Ying Tsai of Chinese Taipei and England's Mimi Rhodes shared third place at 17-under-par.
