Asian Games: Pranavi’s giant leap with first Indian women’s golf gold

Pranavi Urs secured a historic individual gold medal in women's golf at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Saturday, marking a major milestone for Indian sports. The twenty-three-year-old finished with a total score of fifteen-under 265 at the Kasugai Country Club East course, holding off tough competition to edge out China's Yin Ruoning by a single stroke.

Yin claimed the silver medal following a playoff victory against Singapore's Shannon Tan, after both players finished tied at fourteen-under par. Pranavi's performance was bolstered by teammates Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar, helping India capture the team silver medal behind China's twenty-two-under aggregate score, while Chinese Taipei earned the bronze at ten-under.
