Hitaashee Bakshi shot the day's best round of five under 66 to rise to tied fourth at the second day of the Jabra Ladies Open 2025. Hitaashee (72-66) was four-under and three behind the leader, Chiara Tamburlini of Switzerland (67-68).

Playing her first season on a limited card, Hitaashee, who was T-12 at Dutch Ladies Open last week, landed six birdies against one bogey, according to a release.

Hitaashee started on the 15th, which is the start of the back nine of the Evian Golf Resort, with a birdie and added one more on the 17th. She birdied the first and the third and again the sixth and eighth. Her sole bogey came in between on the fourth.

The leader after two days is Chiara Tamburlini of Switzerland. Chiara after a 68 has a total score of seven under par. Chiara has been consistent this season and was looking forward to a good week in France after having to sit out of the Dutch Ladies Open last week. During her second round Chiara made five birdies and two bogeys.

So proud to see all four Indian players making the cut! This is historic for Indian golf. Hitaashee's 66 was brilliant, but let's not forget Diksha's consistent performances week after week. She's quietly becoming one of our most reliable golfers abroad.

The coverage of women's golf in India needs to improve. These girls are achieving so much but get barely any media attention compared to cricket. Star Sports should show these tournaments live - we want to watch our champions in action!

Hitaashee's birdie on the 17th must have been crucial for her momentum. Golf is such a mental game! Wishing all our players the very best for the final round. Hope they can maintain this form and maybe challenge for the title. 🇮🇳🏌️‍♀️

While the performance is commendable, I wish our golfers could be more consistent. Avani's double bogey shows there's still room for improvement in handling pressure situations. That said, making the cut itself is a big achievement at this level.

These girls are making India proud on international turf! Golf isn't an easy sport to excel in, especially without the kind of infrastructure we have for cricket. Hats off to their dedication and hard work. Can't wait to see the final round results!
