Canadian Teenage sensation Anna Huang, who returns this week after missing the Hero Women\u2019s Indian Open after back-to-back wins in Spain and France, was placed at T-28 with a score of one over par when play was suspended. Huang began on the back nine and had played through 11 holes with the sole bogey in her round being the cause of the dropped stroke.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, following heavy rainfall and a flooded course, the organisers have decided to reduce the tournament to 54 holes, even as the staff and greenskeepers at the golf course are working tirelessly to alleviate the rain\u2019s impact to ensure the course is ready for play. Apart from Pranavi, the other Indians are Hitaashee Bakshi, who was third at the Hero Women\u2019s Indian Open two weeks ago, rookie Avani Prashanth and Tvesa Malik. Diksha Dagar has skipped the event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
