AHMEDABAD: Ridhima Dilawari closed the second day with a bogey, but before that, she produced four birdies in a row, helping her to a round of 3-under 69 to go with her first round score of 70 at the Kalhaar Blues and Greens.
Ridhima, who last won at Zion Hills Country Club in Bengaluru in July 2023, is now 5-under for two rounds and extended her lead over the field from one shot to four shots. Lying second is amateur Zara Anand (72-71) at 1-under 143.
Jahanvi Bakshi (73-71), whose eagle on the Par-5 fifth made up for the bogeys on the second and the fourth, picked up one shot on the Par-3 11th and carded 1-under 71 to be tied third alongside Amandeep Drall (72-72).
For the present, Ridhima, who has been dividing her time between the Hero WPG Tour and the IGPL, seems to have built a big lead of four shots, but behind her, there are as many as eight players within three shots of each other.
Amandeep seemed to be headed for a good day as she had four birdies against two bogeys through 17 holes.
