Golden Greens Golf Club: Chasing her maiden title on the circuit, Jasmine Shekar tamed the Golden Greens Golf Club course with one of the best rounds in her budding pro career as she took a three-shot lead after the first round of Leg 13 of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour here on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old Jasmine, who turned pro last year, fired seven birdies against one lone bogey for a round of 6-under 66 and was three shots clear of the experienced Ridhima Dilawari (69), a multiple winner on the Tour.

Three established players, Hitaashee Bakshi, the current Hero Order of Merit leader, Vidhatri Urs, winner of three of the last four events, and Gaurika Bishnoi, already a winner this year, shot 1-under 71 each and were tied third.
