Gwlady Nocera wins Hero Women’s Indian Open, Vashavi Sinha slips up on the last hole
·         Nocera wins with a final scorecard of 11-under 208
·         Vashavi Sinha shoots three over on the final day

New Delhi, December 6: Gwlady Nocera overcame a slight blip in form to card a score of one-under 72 on the final day for a three day total of 11-under 208, which was enough for the French golfer to win the US$ 300,000 Hero Women’s Indian Open 2014, tri-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour (LET), the Ladies Asian Golf Tour (LAGT) and the Women’s Golf Association of India (WGAI) here at the Delhi Golf Club on Thursday.  India’s Vaishavi Sinha, who was in sole second spot after two rounds, suffered a meltdown on the 18th hole in which she double bogied to slip to sole fifth place on the final leaderboard. 
For her second win in India, Nocera had to work hard on the final day to win the glittering trophy and the winner’s cheque of US $45,000. The first one came in 2007 in the Emmar-MGF Ladies Masters. The number two ranked golfer on the 2014 LET Order of Merit started the day on a positive note when she birdied the second hole. But two bogies on the fifth and ninth holes blemished her card on the front nine. Nocera picked up her game on the back nine by birding the 11th, 12th and 17th holes against one bogie on the 15th hole.
Despite having an indifferent day by her usually high standards, Nocera had banked enough in the two previous rounds for her to sail home safely without much of a threat from the chasing pack. “It’s always good to win, I love it, and it’s nice to win in India for a second time, so I’m really pleased. It worked out really well the first day and after that I tried to play my game and that’s it. I got nervous, or a little bit frustrated, about my putting. I stayed patient and it paid off. I love coming here, it’s always on my schedule. India is a beautiful country and people are really nice and that’s why I enjoy coming here. I have a tendency to play well because I feel comfortable,” said the beaming winner of Hero Women’s Indian Open.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
