Ladies European Tour: India’s Pranavi Urs remained in strong contention at the Australian Women’s Classic, finishing the third round in tied fifth place despite a late setback. Pranavi carded a third-round score of 70 to move to eight-under par overall after rounds of 72, 66, and 70.

The 21-year-old looked set for an even better finish in the round but suffered a costly double bogey on the 17th hole. Despite that slip, she managed to hold her place among the top contenders heading into the final round.

Australia’s Kelsey Bennett will enter the last day with a narrow one-shot lead. Bennett posted rounds of 66, 68, and 70 to reach 12-under par, maintaining her advantage at the top of the leaderboard.
