SINGAPORE: Singapore\u2019s Shannon Tan missed out on defending her crown but registered a solid third-place finish at the Hero Women\u2019s Indian Open on Sunday (Oct 25).<\/p>\n
At the DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurgaon, Thailand\u2019s Pornanong Phatlum finished with a 11-under 277 total, while India\u2019s Vani Kapoor finished four strokes behind. Tan took third with a 4-under 284.<\/p>\n
The Singaporean, who was the defending champion, had carded four-under 68 to sit in joint-second after the first round. But a five-over 77 on Friday saw her plummet to joint 15th, denting her title hopes.<\/p>\n
Despite being seven strokes off the pace after round 2, Tan managed to turn things around with a five-under 67 on Saturday, before a final round 72 on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, the 22-year-old became the first Singaporean golfer to clinch a medal at the Asian Games after she took bronze in the individual event.<\/p>\n
Tan is still hunting her first title this year.<\/p>\n
She recorded a joint sixth-place finish at the Women’s British Open in early August, followed by a third-place finish at the PIF London Championship a week later, before securing two top ten finishes at the KPMG Women\u2019s Irish Open (6th) and the La Sella Open (7th).<\/p>\n
In 2024, Tan became the first Singaporean golfer to compete at the Olympic Games. She followed that up with a standout 2025, winning two events on the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the LET Order of Merit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
