New Delhi - Smriti Mehra continued her superb form to emerge victorious in the fourth leg of Hero Women’s pro golf tour at the Willingdon Sports Club here Thursday.

Smriti, who made a strong comeback Wednesday to finish the day on top, put up a clinical display on the third and final day to clinch her second title of the season.
