Jasmine Shekar claimed her second title of the 2026 Women's Pro Golf Tour (WPGT) season on Saturday, 14 November, winning the 14th leg at the Rambagh Golf Club in Jaipur by two shots, holding off seasoned rivals Vani Kapoor and Ridhima Dilawari on a demanding par-70 layout where no player finished the tournament under par.
How the Final Round Unfolded
The 21-year-old from Bengaluru entered the final round with a one-shot overnight lead and extended it to two by the close. She carded a 1-over 71 on the day, finishing the tournament at 5-over par with rounds of 74-70-71. Jasmine's round included two early bogeys on the second and fifth holes, but a birdie on the par-3 sixth steadied her. A further birdie on the 12th proved decisive, and she could even absorb a bogey on the 17th without relinquishing her lead.
Vani Kapoor, who finished at 7-over par with rounds of 75-70-72, could not manufacture the birdie she needed on the 18th to force a play-off and settled for second. Ridhima Dilawari closed with a 74 to finish at 9-over in third, while Shweta Mansingh was fourth at 10-over after rounds of 74-75-71.
Rambagh Proves a Stiff Test
The Rambagh Golf Club course played exceptionally tough across all three days, with scoring under par proving nearly impossible. Notably, the entire tournament produced just one under-par round — a superb 4-under 66 by Tvesa Malik. Despite posting the week's lowest round, Tvesa could only manage a tied-seventh finish, a stark illustration of how difficult conditions were throughout. She shared that position with Ananya Datar. Ojaswani Saraswat, an amateur who was a first-round co-leader with a 74, finished tied fifth alongside Riya Jadon.
Jasmine's Season in Context
Jasmine had launched her 2026 WPGT campaign with a victory in the first leg in Mumbai. In the intervening rounds, she twice finished runner-up — at DLF Golf and Country Club and Jaypee Wishtown — before converting at Rambagh. With this win, she became only the third player in the 2026 season to win more than once, joining Vani and Ridhima in that exclusive company.
What It Means for the Season Standings
The result reinforces Ridhima Dilawari's grip on the Order of Merit lead. The season's most consistent performer, Ridhima had already registered four victories before this event, and her third-place finish in Jaipur keeps her firmly on course for the Merit title. Vani Kapoor, who had arrived in Jaipur on the back of a runner-up finish at the Hero Women's Indian Open — the best result of her Ladies European Tour career — added another strong result to a season in which she has won twice and finished runner-up on three occasions prior to this leg. The final leg of the 2026 WPGT season is scheduled at Noida Jaypee Wishtown, the same venue where Ridhima won the sixth leg and Jasmine finished second — setting up a potentially decisive title showdown.
Point of View
And the season finale at Jaypee Wishtown is now a straight fight between Ridhima's commanding Order of Merit lead and the form of Jasmine and Vani. Tvesa Malik's 66 — the week's only under-par round, yet good enough only for tied seventh — is perhaps the starkest data point on how punishing Rambagh played, and deserves more attention than a footnote finish suggests.
