Professional Golf Tour: Singapore’s Shannon Tan and Alice Hewson of England led the US $400,000 16th Women’s Indian Open after 36 holes at two-under par 142 at the DLF Golf and Country Club here on Friday. On a day when scoring was tough, Tan and Hewson were the only ones in the field with sub-par tournament aggregates.

Women's Professional Golf Tour (WPCT) Order of Merit leader Hitaashee Bakshi, who calls DLF her home course, bucked the prevalent trend of high numbers with the day’s best card, a 4 under par 68 that lifted her into a share of 16th place. The 20-year-old was in fact one of just nine players to break par on the day which included the two joint leaders.

Ladies European Tour (LET) regular Pranavi Urs (74-71) was the best-placed Indian in the 114-strong field in a share of seventh place on 1-over 145 with Ridhima Dilawari (76-73) tied for 12th on 3-over 147. Urs, who has four top-10 finishes in her rookie LET season, including a tied third at the Dormy Helsingborg in May, was sanguine about her progress at her home Open. “Yesterday I started slow. I started with three bogeys, but DLF is such a course that you can go five under, and you can also go five over. So I think you just have to be patient, which I was yesterday, for a two-over.
