|March 13, 2026
Jasmine Shekar stole the thunder from some of the better-known names in the first round of the fifth leg of the Women's Pro Golf Tour at the DLF Golf and Country Club.
-
Jasmine, who won the first leg of the 2026 season, carded 2-under 70 despite two late bogeys to take a oneshot lead over the promising amateur Lavanya Gupta (71).
Mannat Brar, who turned in some fine performances late last season, was sole third with even par 72, as only three players shot par or better on the opening day at the challenging Gary Player layout.
