Mumbai, March 27: Smriti Mehra will tee off at the 15^th and final leg of the of the Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour with an aim to not only win her seventh title of the season but also wrap up the Order of Merit, which she is leading by a handy margin.

The veteran golfer, who was once on the LPGA Tour, has been in great form and has won six of the 14 events held on the Tour this season. In the first round of the 15^th and final leg at the BPGC she has been paired with Nalini Singh Siwach, who herself has won three titles this year.

Smriti, who has played each of the 14 legs has accumulated Rs. 7, 32, 100 while Nalini has Rs. 6,63,400. So, Smriti should win the Order of Merit for the season, even if she does not win the last leg.

Sharmila Nicollet, who has missed some of the recent events, because of her engagements on Ladies European tour, will again be absent. She is lying third on Money List and Neha Tripathi with a good finish could overhaul her.
