COFFS HARBOUR (AUSTRALIA), March 12: Indian golfers Pranavi Urs, Diksha Dagar, and Avani Prashanth will be eager to finally get some action at the Australian Women’s Classic from Friday after the last week’s event in Brisbane was called off due to Cyclone Alfred.
The three Indians were also due to play in Brisbane last week, but the event was called off due to the cyclone.
With limited opportunities for a practice round, they will have to settle for practice sessions at the range ahead of the competition.
