Pro Golf Tour: Anvitha Narender shot the best round of her young professional career to take a 2-shot lead after 36 holes in the 8th Leg of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour at the Bangalore Golf Club. Playing only her fourth round as a pro, Anvitha (69-65), a New Jersey-born Bengaluru-based golfer, shot 5-under 65 and moved two clear of the Gurgaon-based amateur Lavanya Jadon (69-67).

After two rounds Anvitha is 6-under and Lavanya is 4-under; the two are the only players with both rounds under par.

Anvitha, who finished T-8 in her pro debut last week, ran up three birdies in a row from the second and got off to a great start. She dropped shots on the fifth and the ninth at the Bangalore Golf Club to turn in 1-under. On the back nine, she had gains on the 10th and 12th followed by back-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17th for a fine round of 65.
