I think it\u2019s great that she won the Asian Games. It\u2019s a motivation for me to achieve bigger things. There\u2019s a lot to learn from her. The way she held her nerves throughout the week was great. It is definitely not easy at such a big level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vidhatri has achievements of her own to adorn her career. She is currently No. 5 in the Women\u2019s Golf Association of India (WGAI) Order of Merit and won a title in July this year at Zion Hills Golf County in Kolar, defeating favourite Ridhima Dilawari in the play-off. With that victory, she took her tally of professional titles to four, having turned professional in 2024.<\/p>\n<div class=\"also-read print-hide\" data-ga-label=\"AlsoReadArticle\">\n<div class=\"element\">\n<div class=\"picture\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/th-i.thgim.com\/public\/sport\/kyxtra\/article71576146.ece\/alternates\/SQUARE_80\/TH13%20Pranavi.jpg\" data-original=\"https:\/\/th-i.thgim.com\/public\/sport\/kyxtra\/article71576146.ece\/alternates\/SQUARE_80\/TH13%20Pranavi.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-device-variant=\"SQUARE~SQUARE~SQUARE~SQUARE\" class=\"media-object lazy adaptive placeholder lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt feels great to win my fourth pro title.

There is so much to learn in every aspect. She is mostly an aggressive player. It depends on me. I keep it both ways. Whenever I have to attack, I will,\u201d Vidhatri said.<\/p>\n<p>Taking part in the IGPL has also been a learning experience for her. \u201cI think it is a great platform for women\u2019s golf. It is a great competition. You learn a lot here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Vidhatri has now set her sights on the Ladies European Tour (LET).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am just focusing more on my LET qualifying scores right now. I am playing some consistent golf. I will be playing the Lalla Aicha Pre-Qualifier in December this year in Marrakech, Morocco.
