Great to see the depth in women's golf in India now. So many players bunched together around the top 10. The amateurs like Anuradha and Aradhana holding their own against the pros is especially impressive. The future looks bright!

As a golf fan visiting from the US, it's exciting to follow this tour. The scoring seems very competitive. A bit surprised to see players like Seher Atwal miss the cut, but that just shows the rising standard. Hope the final round gets good coverage.

Khushi Khanijau's round of 77 after a 68 is a tough one. And Shweta Mansingh also slipped. It shows how crucial consistency is over three days. Jasmine has been the most consistent so far. She just needs to hold her nerve tomorrow. All the best!

While the competition is great, I wish there was more mainstream media coverage for these athletes. They are putting in the hard work and deserve more recognition. Hopefully a star emerges from this group who can put Indian women's golf on the global map.

Ridhima Dilawari is so steady! Parring the entire back nine is incredible under pressure. She's lurking just three shots back. This is not over by a long shot. May the best player win! 👏
