Tvesa Malik carded a 1-over 73 to finish the third round at tied 11th in the Women’s Indian Open on Saturday.
Gurugram, October 20
Tvesa Malik is the best placed Indian at tied-11th spot, even as Becky Morgan, Nicole Broch Larsen and Eleanor Given emerged joint leaders on the third day of the Hero Women’s Indian Open here on Saturday.
Overnight leader Christine Wolf (77) dropped to tied-fourth spot after hitting a quadruple bogey on the closing 18th.
Norway’s Tonje Daffinrud (76) and Thailand’s Pannarat Thanapolbooyaras (78), playing in the lead group with Wolf, also fell by the wayside dropping to tied 19th and tied 22nd, respectively.
Wolf now trails the leading trio of Morgan (68), Broch Larsen (69) and Givens (70) by one shot with a three-day total of 3-under 213.
Tvesa continued to be the best placed Indian. The 22-year-old shot a 1-over 73 with a satisfying birdie on the 18th.
She seemed to be doing well at 1-under through 12 holes after a steady bogey-free front-nine.
Tvesa bogeyed the 10th, but got the shot back on 11th to stay in the top 10. A double bogey, however, spoilt her card before she made the amends on the 18th.
Tvesa is now even-par 216 for three days and tied 11th with seven others, including Isabelle Boineau, who shot the week’s best card of 65, an improvement of 10 shots to her previous round.
“It was nice to finish the day with a birdie. It left me something to look forward to on Sunday. I need to get a few more birdies and not have three-putts,” Tvesa said after the day’s play.
“This is a course where nothing is sure till the ball falls into the cup. Anything can happen and big numbers can crop up suddenly. We have already seen that over the last three days. Also one cannot miss on the wrong side, as I did on the 13th and ended with a double,” she added.
Gaurika Bishnoi carded a 72 to be 1-over for three rounds and was tied 19th with Ridhima Dilawari (71).
Vani Kapoor and Astha Madan shot identical cards of 2-under 70 and rose to tied 31st at 4-over 220, while amateurs Diksha Dagar (73), Sifat Sagoo (73) and Pranavi Urs (74) were all at 8-over 224 for tied-51st position. — PTI
