Impressive performance by the amateurs - Zara Anand and Lavanya Gupta both in top positions. The future of Indian women's golf looks bright with such young talent coming up!

Vani Kapoor's scorecard shows she's playing aggressively with 4 birdies, but those double bogeys are costing her. Sometimes conservative play might be better on this course.

The leader group at 9:30 am will be exciting to watch! Experience of Amandeep Drall vs the young guns. Hope the weather holds up - Gurugram can be unpredictable this time of year.

Wish there was more TV coverage for WPG Tour events. These women are playing some fantastic golf and deserve more visibility. Hopefully streaming options improve soon.

DLF Golf and Country Club is one of the toughest courses in India. Scoring in the 70s here is actually quite good. The back nine especially can make or break your round, as Lavanya experienced.
