Jasmine Shekar survived a demanding final round at Rambagh Golf Club to secure her second Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour title of the season, defeating Vani Kapoor by two strokes.
The 21-year-old Bengaluru golfer began Saturday one ahead and returned a one-over 71 to complete rounds of 74, 70 and 71 for a five-over total of 215.
Early bogeys on the second and fifth brought the chasing pack closer, but Jasmine responded with birdies on the par-three sixth and 12th. A composed run of pars allowed her to retain control, and a bogey on the 17th did not prevent her from closing out the victory.
Vani, playing alongside Jasmine, struggled to generate enough birdie opportunities. She turned two-over and made her only gain at the 14th before a closing bogey resulted in a 72 and a seven-over total of 217.
Four-time winner and season rankings leader Ridhima Dilawari finished third at nine-over 219 following a 74. Shweta Mansingh matched Jasmine’s final-round 71 to claim fourth place at 10-over.
Jasmine began her season by winning the opening leg in Mumbai before recording runner-up finishes at DLF Golf & Country Club and Jaypee Greens Wish Town. Her Jaipur success made her only the third multiple winner of 2026, joining Ridhima and Vani.
The par-70 Rambagh layout proved difficult throughout the tournament. Jasmine was the only player to post a level-par round over the opening two days, while Tvesa Malik produced the week’s sole sub-par score with a closing 66.
Amateur Ojaswini Saraswat shared fifth place with Riya Jadon, while Tvesa and first-round co-leader Ananya Datar tied for seventh.
The tour will now return to Jaypee Greens Wish Town in Noida for its final tournament of the 2026 season.
