DURHAM, N.C.— Duke University rising sophomore Gurbani Singh played a flawless final round of three-under-par, 69, at the Hero Women's Professional Golf Tour event played at the Royal Springs Golf Course in India to become the first amateur to win on the tour this year.

After turning in a two-over-par, 74, in the second round, Singh carded birdies on No. 5, No. 12 and No. 18 on her way to a bogey-free final round of 69 as she finished with a 54-hole ledger of 211. She won by five strokes over Vani Kapoor, Gursimar Badwal and Amandeep Drall (216).

She saved her best golf for the postseason as Singh finished sixth overall in the ACC Championship and tied 14th at the NCAA Championship.
