Jaipur, Nov 12 (PTI) Amateur Ojaswini Saraswat landed a late eagle on her way to a one-over 71 to grab a share of the lead with Ananya Datar in the 14th leg of the Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour here on Thursday.
The 13-year-old had become the youngest Indian ever and the second-youngest player in Ladies European Tour (LET) history to make the cut when she successfully made it to the weekend at the Hero Women’s Indian Open.
Ojaswini, who played alongside the much-decorated Vani Kapoor in the first round, took advantage of her familiarity with the Rambagh Golf Club which is her home course where she plays often.
On a day of when none of the players broke par, Durga Nittur and Khushi Khanijau were two shots behind at 3-over 73 in Tied-third place, while there was a big bunch in Tied-fifth place.
Khushi also hails from Jaipur and hence is very familiar with the Rambagh course.
The Order of Merit leader, Ridhima Dilawari, veteran Neha Tripathi, Shweta Mansingh, Jahnavi Prakhya and sisters Lavanya and Riya Jadon were in a seven-way tie for the fifth place at 4-over 74.
Pre-tournament favourite and runner-up at the Hero Women’s Indian Open last month, Vani Kapoor was T-12 alongside Shagun Narain at 5-over 75. Neither of them had any birdies through the day.
