The course conditions were extreme, however, Sharmila, came through it well. She is wanting to play in China, Australia and the LET other than certain occasions on the homegrown Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour in India, as well. The arrangement as indicated by her is to move in the direction of gathering focuses to fit the bill for the 2020 Olympics.  

Sharmila's capability is a continuation of the development story of Indian golf as the nation's top lady golf player Aditi Ashok rides between US LPGA and Ladies European Tour and is positioned 78th on the planet.
