Tvesa, Siddhi ahead of the rest in 12th leg

New Delhi: Tvesa Malik, who won her first event as a professional two months ago in July, moved into shared lead with Siddhi Kapoor, who won at this very course last year on the Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour.
On Thursday, in the second round of the 12th Leg of Hero WPGT, the 21-year-old Tvesa and Siddhi who is still two months away from her 20th birthday, carded 73 each to move to five-over 147 and Tied-first place.
Saaniya Sharma, winner of the 11th Leg, and Smriti Mehra, made a whopping 11-shot improvement on their first round scores to bring in 71 each, as against 82 in the first round. Also sharing the third place with them was Gursimar Badwal (77) at 153 the trailing trio was six shots behind the leading duo.
Tvesa Malik may well have been sole lead but for a crippling triple bogey on par-3 seventh hole and another bogey on eighth. She turned in three-over 39, but on the back nine she was error free with two birdies on 10th and 12th and the rest were pars for 34.
Siddhi dropped a bogey each on sixth and seventh and another on 11th against birdies on ninth and tenth during her 73. The day's best cards came from Smriti and Saaniya, whose 71 each have been the only sub-par rounds so far in the tournament.
