Ridhima Dilawari clinched her fourth title of the Women's Pro Golf Tour (WPGT) 2026 season at the Prestige Golfshire near Bengaluru on 14 August 2026, holding off a late charge from Mannat Brar to win the 12th Leg of the season by a single stroke. Ridhima's closing 4-under 68 gave her a three-round total of 10-under 206, completing her third consecutive under-par round of the week.

How the Final Round Unfolded

Ridhima's front nine was a study in resilience. A birdie on the third was quickly undone by a double bogey on the fourth, narrowing the gap between the two leaders. She steadied herself with back-to-back birdies on the fifth and sixth to turn at 1-under 35. Mannat, meanwhile, carded a 2-under 34 on the front nine — with birdies on the fourth, sixth, and ninth against one bogey — reducing the overnight deficit from three shots to two.

On the back nine, Mannat applied sustained pressure, posting four birdies including three consecutive gains from the 12th to the 14th. Ridhima matched her with birdies on the 12th and 14th. When Mannat birdied the 16th, the pair were level at 9-under. Mannat parred the final two holes to set the clubhouse target at 9-under 207, leaving Ridhima needing a birdie on the 18th to avoid a play-off. She delivered, closing out the title at 10-under.

Mannat Brar's Career-Best Card of the Week

Mannat's final-round 66 — featuring seven birdies against one bogey — was the best card of the entire tournament. Her total of 9-under 207 secured the runner-up finish. Despite the loss, the round underscored Mannat's growing presence on the WPGT circuit and her ability to mount a genuine title challenge.

The Battle for Third Place

Vidhatri Urs and Heena Kang finished tied for third at 3-under, locked in their own contest throughout the final round. Vidhatri carded a 71 with three birdies against two bogeys, while Heena shot a 72 featuring three birdies offset by a double bogey and a bogey. Neha Tripathi, who had shared third place after 36 holes, slipped to sole fifth after a 75 on the final day. Amandeep Drall, Vani Kapoor, and Prakruthi Sastry each carded 70 to tie for sixth, while Kashika Misra and Jahnavi Prakhya tied for ninth at 3-over 219. Notably, only four players — Ridhima, Mannat, Vidhatri, and Heena — finished the week under par.

Ridhima's Dominant Season and Order of Merit Lead

The victory is Ridhima's fourth of the 2026 WPGT season, adding to her wins at Leg 2 (Kalhaar Blues & Greens), Leg 4 (Poona Golf Club), and Leg 6 (Jaypee Wishtown, Noida). She has also finished runner-up twice this season. The win further extends her lead at the top of the Hero Order of Merit, consolidating her status as the standout performer on the women's professional golf circuit in India this year. With six legs still to play in the season, Ridhima's consistency — three straight under-par rounds this week — signals she will be difficult to dislodge from the top of the standings.
