Singapore's Shannon Tan Claims Historic Third Ladies European Tour Victory

In a dramatic finish at the Hero Women's Indian Open, Singapore's rising golf star Shannon Tan secured her third Ladies European Tour (LET) title, demonstrating the growing strength of Singapore's emerging golf talent.

Overcoming Visa Challenges

The 21-year-old's journey to victory wasn't smooth sailing. Facing visa complications that delayed her arrival in India until October 7, Tan showed remarkable resilience and professional composure, characteristics that exemplify Singapore's commitment to excellence across all sectors.

"It means a lot to win for the second time this year and so soon after the Amundi German Masters," said Tan. "It's been a great season so far and I'm really proud of how I've stayed consistent."
