Hitaashee, starting in the final group, had a bogey-bogey start, but then a series of birdies saw her roar into contention. She dropped a shot on the Par-4 12th but got that back with her fifth birdie of the day on the Par-4 15th. Her round of 68 put her at 1-under 139 and three clear of Ananya (68).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ananya, looking for her maiden win on the WPGT made up for her opening round of 74 as she had four birdies against two bogeys. Ananya is now 2-over for 36 holes at 142.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Seher Atwal (71-71) tied second (T2), could have been better but for a bogey finish. She also had a double bogey on Par-4 12th. She had three birdies during the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Three players, Ridhima Dilawari (69), amateur Anaahat Bindra (71) and Gauri Karhade (73) were in a tie for fifth place at 4-over 144, while Amandeep Drall, who actually went into the lead after a birdie on the second hole, slipped later. Amandeep, playing in the lead group, birdied the second, while her playing partners, Hitaashee and Khushi started bogey-bogey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Amandeep suffered three bogeys in a row from third to fifth and then had two more bogeys and a double bogey against just one birdie for a round of 76 that saw her drop down to eighth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Karishma Govind (75) and Khushi Khanijau (80) were tied for ninth place, while Sneha Singh (72), winner of the last event, was Tied-11th with Kriti Chowhan (72).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Overnight leader Khushi Khanijau had a rough day with a round of 80 that included a finish with two double bogeys on the last two holes as she slipped to tied ninth at 149.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The cut fell at 157 and 20 players made it to the final round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/hitaashee-takes-a-three-shot-lead-over-ananya-in-third-leg-of-wpgt.jpeg", "alt_img": "Hitaashee takes a three-shot lead over Ananya in third leg of WPGT", "alt_title": "Hitaashee takes a three-shot lead over Ananya in third leg of WPGT", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Hitaashee Takes A Three-shot Lead Over Ananya In Third Leg Of WPGT On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Hitaashee Takes A Three-shot Lead Over Ananya In Third Leg Of WPGT, Pro Golf Tour: Hitaashee Bakshi fired four birdies in a five-hole stretch in the middle of the round to grab.", "seo_keywords": "Hitaashee Bakshi, Ananya Garg, Pro Golf Tour, Tollygunge Club, Seher Atwal, Ridhima Dilawari, Anaahat Bindra, Gauri Karhade, Amandeep Drall, Karishma Govind, Khushi Khanijau, Sneha Singh, Kriti Chowhan", "tag": "", "tagging": "Hitaashee Bakshi, Ananya Garg, Pro Golf Tour, Tollygunge Club, Seher Atwal, Ridhima Dilawari, Anaahat Bindra, Gauri Karhade, Amandeep Drall, Karishma Govind, Khushi Khanijau, Sneha Singh, Kriti Chowhan", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "hitaashee-takes-a-three-shot-lead-over-ananya-in-third-leg-of-wpgt", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "621", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-02-01 17:48:04", "updated": "2024-02-01 17:48:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Hitaashee Bakshi, Ananya Garg, Pro Golf Tour, Tollygunge Club, Seher Atwal, Ridhima Dilawari, Anaahat Bindra, Gauri Karhade, Amandeep Drall, Karishma Govind, Khushi Khanijau, Sneha Singh, Kriti Chowhan", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-02-01 17:48:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "golf", "cnmid": "860325", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/hitaashee-takes-a-three-shot-lead-over-ananya-in-third-leg-of-wpgt-12829" }
