WPGT 2024: Nayanika Takes 1-shot Lead Over Hitaashee, Jasmine In 15th Leg
Pro Golf Tour: Nayanika Sanga, who is looking for her maiden win on the Women’s Pro Golf Tour (WPGT), took a slender one-shot lead after the first day in the 15th and final leg of the Tour at the Boulder Hills Golf & Country Club here on Wednesday.
Nayanika, 20, had seven birdies, including three in a row on the back nine from the 11th to the 13th. Her 4-under 68 gave her a one-shot edge over last week’s winners, Hitaashee Bakshi (69) and Jasmine Shekar (69). Four players, Amandeep Drall, Gaurika Bishnoi, and Sneha Singh, alongside Sri Lankan amateur Kaya Daluwatte were tied for fourth place with cards of 2-under 70 each.
Nayanika, who turned pro in 2022, had an early bogey on the second, but birdies on the fourth and the eighth ensured she turned in 1-under. A bogey on the tenth pulled her back to even par, but a hat-trick of birdies from the 11th to the 13th and two more on the 15th and 18th with a bogey in between on the 16th saw her finish at 68.
