SHAH ALAM: Newly-wed Smriti Mehra went against her mother's wishes. And boy, was she glad. She swept everything in sight at the US$90,000 Kosaido Malaysian Ladies Open when she became the first Indian golfer to win the title after an exciting sudden-death playoff at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Golf Club yesterday.
Mehra, who just got married on Monday, dashed the title hopes of Malaysian Lim Siew Ai and Thailand’s Rusee Gulyanamitta when she saved par in the sudden-death playoff on the par-four 10th hole.
