Spaniards Luna Sobron Galmes: Pranavi Urs stayed alive at the Swiss Ladies Open as she became the only Indian to survive the halfway cut, while compatriots Tvesa Malik and Diksha Dagar bowed out after contrasting second rounds at Golfpark Holzhäusern in Switzerland.

Pranavi, who opened with a 2-under 70, followed it with another solid round of 2-under 69 to reach 3-under 139 and sit tied 28th going into the weekend. Tvesa, despite improving to a 1-under 71 after an opening 72, finished at 1-over and missed the cut by a single shot. Diksha, who, like Pranavi and Tvesa, is supported by Hero, endured a difficult second round of 78 after a 71 and ended at 7-over.

At the top, Sweden’s Kajsa Arwefjall produced another impressive round to take control of the tournament. After opening with a brilliant 64 on Thursday, the 26-year-old followed it with a bogey-free 66 to reach 12-under par and establish a three-shot cushion.
