Dilawari, speaking over the phone, confirmed her plans for the season ahead, saying, “I’ll be competing in the IGPL this year, starting with the Mauritius leg in April.”
Been working with my coach Sujjan Singh for the last couple of years and the swing changes are showing dividends. Also i have had a better mindset on the course. Been trying to enjoy golf as much as possible and not be very result oriented. That’s reduced the mental stress a lot and I’ve been playing pretty freely so that’s been great.”
