AICHI-NAGOYA, October 3: Indian golfer Pranavi Urs created history at the Asian Games 2026, becoming the first Indian woman to win an individual golf gold medal at the continental event. The 23-year-old from Mysuru finished at 15-under 265, winning by a single stroke.
Her performance also helped India secure silver in the women’s team event alongside Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar.
Pranavi Holds Nerve in Final Round
Pranavi entered the final round with a three-shot advantage but suffered an early setback after a triple bogey on the third hole erased her lead.
She recovered with three birdies and maintained her composure through the closing holes to remain on top of the leaderboard.
One-Stroke Victory Seals Historic Gold
Pranavi carded an even-par 70 in the final round, finishing the four-day competition at 15-under 265.

India’s team featured Pranavi Urs, Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar, with the two best individual scores counting toward the team total.

Double-Medal Campaign for Pranavi
Pranavi leaves the Asian Games with both an individual gold and a team silver, completing a memorable campaign.
