Speaking at the award ceremony, the Usha Spokesperson said, "Today's game was a spectacular display of golfing prowess and reiterates that our partnership with the DGC is on point, encouraging more and more women to play golf and providing them a platform to showcase their talent. This collaboration furthers Usha's core values, emphasizing the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle. Congratulations to everyone who took part in this competition."

"Watching the spirited fight on the greens was a treat and it's thanks to Usha's unwavering support, that we are driving positive change and shaping the trajectory of women's golf in the country. Seeing the growing numbers each year, and participants ranging for 10 to 83 years is really heartening. The recognition by WAGR is a testament that our efforts are in the right direction," said Nimmi Dhir, Lady Captain at DGC. (ANI)
