Hero Women’s Indian Open starts with a bang

On October 17, the two teams, Europe and The Rest of the World, competed in the Hero Skills Challenge with four players on each team. Two leading contenders of the week, Diksha Dagar and Johanna Gustavsson, teed off the week with a fine start. A post about the same was shared on Twitter. 

The post says, “Europe and the Rest of the world shared the honours for the second straight year as the teams won two Skills each. Both teams received Rs.1,68,000 each for winning two Skills each. Ram Kuppuswamy, Chief Procurement Officer, @HeroMotoCorp, gave away the prizes to the teams. #HWIO”

Apart from this, on Thursday, the final match is going to start with 120 players who will fight for the title of the $400,000 event. Last year, there were a majority of Indians in the Rest of the World. Let’s see what the team composition is for this year.
