New Delhi, Oct 3
Neha Tripathi, still looking for her first win this season, opened with a round of 75 to share the lead with Smriti Mehra in the seventh leg of the Hero-WGAI women?s Pro Golf tour Wednesday.
Neha shared the lead with veteran Smriti Mehra, who has won three of the six legs held so far in the season.
Behind Neha and Smriti were Vani Kapoor and Shraddhanjali Singh with cards of 76 each. There were two others - Nalini Singh Siwach and Saaniya Sharma, who shot 77 each to be tied for fifth.
Smriti, four over after 15 holes, made a late surge with two birdies on the 16th and 17th, but spoilt her finish with a bogey on the closing 18th.
Neha had just one birdie on the fourth as against four bogeys, two of which came on par-fives.
Poor finish cost Saaniya and Vani a lot. Saaniya Sharma looked set for the lead, but she had a nightmarish finish, as she double bogeyed the 16th and then triple bogeyed the 18th, to drop from even par to five over in a matter of three holes. Saaniya was the only player with three birdies and they came in a space of four holes as she birdied the fifth, sixth and eighth holes and turned in even par, but her 41 for the second nine saw her drop down.
Another one to spoil her finish was Vani, who was just one-over till she came to the 16th tee. She bogeyed her last three holes to fall to four-over.
Shraddhanjali Singh had two birdies, four bogeys and one double bogey in her 76.
