Kolkata, Feb 6 (IANS): Overnight leader Vani Kapoor recorded a six-stroke victory at the fourth leg of the Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour at the par-70 Tollygunge Club here Friday.

Vani's score of three-over took her total 214. This win also helped the Delhi golfer to comfortably consolidate her position atop the Hero Order of Merit with two wins from four appearances this season.

Bengaluru golfer Sharmila Nicollet got a total of 220 to finish second, while local golfer Neha Tripathi finished third with a total score of 221.

Vani had an indifferent start Friday, carding a bogey on the first hole. She holed two more bogeys on the seventh and eighth with a lone birdie on the ninth in her front nine. She, however, played a watchful back nine, carding just one bogey on the 14th.
