New Delhi , May 25 :

Avani Prashanth emerged as the highest-ranked Indian golfer at the Jabra Ladies Open in Evian-les-Bains, France, finishing tied-28th after a final-round score of 69.

The Czech Republic's Sara Kouskova clinched her maiden Ladies European Tour title with a total score of 10-under-par, two shots ahead of runner-up Shannon Tan. Kouskova’s final round of 67 sealed the victory and elevated her to third in the Order of Merit rankings.

Other players of India like Hitaashee Bakshi and Tvesa Malik, ended tied-34, while Diksha Dagar was placed tied-39. Hitaashee, who was in top-10 contention after the second round, slipped with a disappointing 77 on the final day.

Avani, playing her rookie LET season, has now recorded three top-20 finishes and has missed the cut in only two of her eight starts.
