New Delhi, October 17: Gauri Monga carded a three under 69 including four birdies on the front nine to register an emphatic come from behind victory at the 4th USHA DGC LADIES OPEN AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP 2013, which concluded at the famous Delhi Golf Club course. Gauri finished one stroke ahead of Day 2 leader Ridhima Dilawari with an aggregate score of 218 at the end of 54 holes of golf.

Gauri, a former Indian number one amateur ladies golfer, represents the Delhi Golf Club. Last year’s winner Tvesa Malik, eventually finished fourth this time with a score of 228, ending the final day with a card of three over 75.
