Seher Atwal Wins A Dramatic Battle In The 10th Leg Of WPGT

Seher Atwal, who was determined to break a streak of second-place finishes, played a strong back nine and shot two under par in the second round on Thursday to overtake overnight co-leader Neha Tripathi.

Sneha Singh, who was competing in just her second professional tournament, scored her second consecutive 71 to finish third at two under 142. Nayanika Sanga, who was also playing at the Prestige Golfshire course, recorded a 71 to finish fourth at one under 143 for two rounds.

After shooting 76 in her opening round, Pranavi Urs improved to a three-under 69 to move up to fifth place at one over 145, although she was still five shots behind leader Seher.

Seher, who finished second in the eighth and ninth Hero WPG Tour legs, got off to a sluggish start on the front nine with one birdie and two bogeys for one over, while Neha Tripathi had one birdie and one bogey to take the lead.

Seher Atwal Wins A Dramatic Battle In The 10th Leg Of Hero WPGT:

Seher and Neha both made no bogeys on the back nine, but Seher had three birdies on holes 11, 14, and 15, and Neha only had one, on hole 18. Seher then had a one-shot advantage going into the final round, which is encouraging.
