Vidhatri Urs claimed the 10th leg of the Women's Pro Golf Tour (WPGT) 2026 at Kolar, Karnataka on 17 July, edging out Ridhima Dilawari in a play-off after Ridhima's dramatic double bogey on the 18th hole of the final round handed the title away. Both players finished at 2-under 214 — Vidhatri carding a 73 and Ridhima a 75 — before Vidhatri prevailed on the extra hole.

How the Title Was Lost and Won

Ridhima Dilawari, who had led by two strokes entering the final pairing, appeared in command after birdies on the 13th and 15th holes restored her advantage even as Vidhatri had already posted her clubhouse target. A bogey on the 16th tightened the contest, but Ridhima still needed only a bogey on the par-5 18th to secure her fourth title of the season. Instead, she made a double bogey, dropping into a tie and ultimately losing the play-off.

Vidhatri, playing in the second-last group alongside Vani Kapoor, had navigated her own turbulence — bogeys on the 5th and 7th holes — before rallying with back-to-back birdies on the 11th and 12th. A bogey on the 17th left her at 214, setting the target that ultimately proved decisive.

Vidhatri Ends a 21-Month Title Drought

The victory is Vidhatri's first of the 2026 season and ends a 21-month title drought. Her previous win came at the 11th Leg held at Delhi Golf Club in September 2024. The play-off triumph underlines her resilience — she had to wait in the clubhouse and watch the drama unfold before getting a second chance.

Rest of the Leaderboard

Vani Kapoor was in contention through the first 12 holes, sitting at 3-under for the tournament, before a double bogey on the 13th derailed her challenge. A birdie on the 16th offered brief hope, but back-to-back bogeys at the finish gave her a 74 and a third-place finish at even par 216.

Amandeep Drall, who had been paired with Ridhima in the final group, carded a 4-over 76 — five bogeys and a double bogey against three birdies — to finish sole fourth at 1-over 217. Young Saanvi Somu was fifth at 2-over 218, while Anvvi Dahhiya shot a round-best 70 to finish sixth at 3-over 219. Amateur Alysha Dutt also fired a 70, one of only two under-par rounds on the day, finishing tied 12th.

Order of Merit Standings

Ridhima Dilawari retains the lead in the Order of Merit with earnings of ₹13,00,667, ahead of Jasmine Shekar on ₹10,82,333 and Amandeep Drall on ₹10,18,333. Vani Kapoor is fourth with ₹10,06,000, and Vidhatri Urs climbs to fifth with ₹8,22,166 after today's win. Across the ten legs played so far, Ridhima has won three titles, with seven different players accounting for the remaining victories — a sign of the competitive spread across the tour this season.

Point of View

But because it kept the Order of Merit from becoming a foregone conclusion. She leads with three wins in ten legs, yet the tour's spread of champions — seven different winners in the remaining seven legs — suggests the field is closing in. Vidhatri's drought-breaking win is a reminder that in stroke-play golf, the clubhouse leader always has a seat at the table. The real story heading into the back half of the season is whether Ridhima can hold her nerve when it matters most.
