Consistent Singaporean golfer triumphs in India for her third career LET victory
Just days before the Hero Women's Indian Open, Shannon Tan did not even know whether she would be playing in the tournament.
Stuck in Singapore as she faced challenges obtaining the visa she needed to travel to India, she found herself frequently checking her email inbox, hoping for the approval to come through.
After pushing her flight back several times, the Singaporean golfer finally got her visa. She flew to India on Oct 7, two days later than planned. Relieved that she was able to make the trip, Tan quickly regrouped, adjusting her practice schedule and timings to prepare for the event, which started on Oct 9.
The hiccup did little to rattle the 21-year-old though, as she emerged triumphant with a five-under 67 in the final round on Oct 12 to finish on a seven-under 281 total, a stroke ahead of England's Alice Hewson (72), who surrendered the lead on the last hole.
India's Hitaashee Bakshi (76) was two shots behind in third.
Tan said: "It means a lot to win for the second time this year and so soon after the Amundi German Masters.
