Shenzhen: Pranavi Urs finished the week in a modest manner with a round of 1-over 74 at the 2026 Aramco China Championship. The Asian Games gold medallist, who was fourth at the Hero Women’s Indian Open, recorded rounds of 73-72-73-74 to end at Par for the week at the Par 73 at the World Cup Course at Mission Hills China.
The Hero supported Pranavi, who was the only Indian in the field, started with a birdie and ended with a birdie but in between she three bogeys on the fourth, 12th and the 16th.
Meanwhile, Ana Peláez Treviño fired a flawless round of 64 (-9) including a spectacular hole-in-one to win the 2026 Aramco China Championship.
It was a second Ladies European Tour (LET) victory for the Spanish star, who won her first title four and a half years ago when she clinched the 2022 Communidad Madrid Ladies Open on home soil.
Peláez Treviño went into the final round on the World Cup Course at Mission Hills China in a share of 10th place.
However, a final round of 64 (-9) which included an ace on the par-3 13th hole ensured the 28-year-old lifted an LET trophy again.
“It’s been tough and right now it feels good. At one point, I thought I would never be in this position again. It’s hard to believe in yourself when you’re not feeling okay,” said the Spanish star.
“Coming back, playing golf and enjoying it is just a gift. If we can add on winning or top 10 then good, if not it’s okay. It’s for life itself. You might have good moments or moments that are uncomfortable, but you have got to keep going.
“Today was a great day and I was able to take the trophy home, but if I wouldn’t be here with the trophy, I would also be very grateful. That’s my takeaway from these past few years is the person I am now and how I am taking this in my heart.”
Peláez Treviño made her first birdie of the day on the second before adding further birdies on the fourth and sixth holes.
The Spaniard rolled in another birdie on 11 before a fantastic hole-in-one on the par-3 13th to move into the lead.
With her second title in her sights, Peláez Treviño kept her foot on the accelerator closing with three consecutive birdies to win by three strokes on 20-under-par.
She continued: “I’m feeling grateful Today, it was a really fun day out there. It was a bonus to play with Casandra [Alexander] and Cara [Gainer], it was such a good vibe. Golf looked easy. That hole-in-one was a gamechanger, I had a lot of holes left. I told myself to just shoot one shot at a time and I was happy and grateful.”
England’s Mimi Rhodes ended the week in second place on 17-under-par after a final round of 71 (-2) at Mission Hills China.
Five players shared third place with England’s Charlotte Heath and Spain’s Luna Sobron Galmes joined by Chinese trio Liqi Zeng, Shiyuan Zhou and Ruixin Liu.
The 2025 Aramco China Championship winner Liu produced a final round of 69 (-4) which included seven birdies.
The leading amateur was China’s Yujie Liu who finished in eighth place on 15-under-par with South Africa’s Lee-Anne Pace, Germany’s Patricia Isabel Schmidt, England’s Annabell Fuller and Czechia’s Sara Kouskova one shot further back in T9.
In the LET Order of Merit, South Africa’s Casandra Alexander leads the way with 3,506.48 points with Canada’s Anna Huang in second place and Australia’s Kelsey Bennett in third.
Spain’s Peláez Trevino climbed from 51st to 16th place in the rankings and Rhodes jumped from 67th to 36th with her runner-up finish.
The LET has a two-week break now before the season-ending Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España presented by Oysho staged at La Cala Resort from November 26 – 29.
