Overview
- On Wednesday Rory McIlroy met 23‑year‑old Pranavi Urs at the DP World India Championship and praised her resilience after her Asian Games comeback.
- Pranavi overcame an early triple bogey to win individual gold at the Aichi–Nagoya Asian Games and helped India secure the women's team silver earlier this month.
- Pranavi walked a few holes with McIlroy before telling him she must return to practice and that she will play the Women's Indian Open at DLF next week.
- McIlroy said the New Delhi course rewards accuracy and that he plans to limit use of his driver to improve his chances in the DP World India Championship.
- McIlroy's public praise and his high profile after recent major wins could raise Pranavi's international visibility and bring more attention and support to Indian women's golf.
