Sharmila keeps lead

BANGALORE: Sharmila Nicollet held on to the lead for the third day in succession with a card of two-over 74 for the penultimate day.

The 15-year-old KGA youngster played an excellent first nine holes with two birdies and the rest pars to be two under. However her back nine was marred with a hat-trick of bogeys (14th, 15th and 16th) and another dropped shot on the final hole to spoil her card. Sharmila also had a birdie on the 11th to retain her seven-stroke lead over Vaishavi Sinha.

Shruti Khanna dropped to fourth position after submitting a poor card of six-over 78 for the day. Meghana Bal moved into third spot in the gold division.

In the Silver division, Dhanalakshmi Rice had a three-stroke lead over Megha Verma of Lucknow Golf Club. Renuka Phillip lost a couple of places to be in fourth position.

In the bronze division Priya Khanna established a strong lead of 12 strokes over Gomathi Rajaram.
