Vani takes first round lead at Usha Western India Ladies Open
October 11th, 2011 - 8:59 pm ICT by IANSMumbai, Oct 11 (IANS) Vani Kapoor continued her rich form with a opening round 75 that gave her the lead at the end of the first day of the Usha Western India Ladies Open amateur golf tournament at the BPGC here Tuesday.
But the surprise of the day was Gursimar Badwal, who carded 76 and occupied the second place, one shot ahead of Gurbani Singh, who is making a charge on the IGU’s Ladies Tour Order of Merit. Raksha Phadke and Amrita Anand were tied for fourth place with 78 each, while Aditi Ashok, expected to challenge Vani for the honours started off badly with a 79, the same as Mehar Atwal, Vidushi Sinha and Amandeep Drall.
Though Vani led the field, she found the going tough as birdies were hard to come by and the course played difficult. Vani had bogeys on the third and seventh to turn in two-over. She had two more bogeys and a double bogey and one birdie on the par-5 18th on the back nine.
