Visakhapatnam, Feb 7 (PTI) Sneha Singh produced three birdies in a span of four holes on the back nine of the East Point Golf Club to take a two-shot lead at the end of the opening round of the fourth Leg of Women\u2019s Pro Golf Tour here on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
A winner of the second leg this season, Sneha shot two-under 70 at the par-72 course and was the only player to score under par.<\/p>\n
Her arch-rival Hitaashee Bakshi, who also has a win this season, was tied for second with Khushi Khanijau. Hitaashee and Khushi carded 72 each.<\/p>\n
Ridhima Dilawari was the sole fourth at 74 despite a disappointing run of three bogeys in a row on the front nine.<\/p>\n
Amateur Zara Anand, making a rare appearance in a pro event, performed well with two-over 74 and was tied for fifth alongside Ananya Garg and Jasmine Shekar.<\/p>\n
Sneha had as many as five birdies, the most on the first day. She opened with a birdie before dropping a shot on the second. She birdied ninth to turn in 1-under.<\/p>\n
On the back nine, after a bogey on the 10th, which brought her to even par, Sneha picked three quick birdies on 11th, 13th and 14th. A late bogey saw her finish at 70.<\/p>\n
Hitaashee, who now leads the Order of Merit, had two birdies against two bogeys, while Khushi had a birdie and no bogeys in the first 14 holes. Then, she dropped shots on the 15th and 17th but birdied the 18th to ensure a par round.<\/p>\n
Trimann Saluja (75) was eighth. Seher Atwal, Yaalisai Verma and Rhea Jha were tied ninth at 76 each. PTI<\/p>\n
