Kolar (Karnataka), Jul 23 (PTI) Two sets of back-to-back birdies and another late birdie saw a resurgent Neha Tripathi take a one-shot lead in the 10th Leg of the Women's Pro Golf Tour at the Zion Hills Golf County course.
Neha, who was the runner-up last week in the ninth leg, had five birdies against two bogeys in a round of 3-under 69 which gave her a one-shot lead over Durga Nittur (70).
The only other player other than Neha and Durga to get a score of par or better was Ridhima Dilawari, who shot even par 72 and it included two birdies in the last four holes in the first round.
Neha, who is just getting back to form after being ridden with injuries over the past year, had back-to-back birdies on the second and the third, and parred the other six holes on the front nine.
She began the back nine with two straight bogeys but picked three birdies on the 14th, 15th, and 17th.
Durga birdied the fourth and the fifth and then had two each of birdies and bogeys on the back nine.
Ridhima had three birdies and three bogeys in her even par round, as she continues to seek her first win of the season.
Three players, Amandeep Drall, Nayanika Sanga and Seher Atwal were tied for fourth with 73 each, while Lavanya Jadon (74) was seventh. Rhea Jha and Oviya Reddi were tied for eighth with cards of 75.

The Jadeja-Sundar act in a grand overseas show

Kolkata: If you think draws are boring, this should change your mind a bit. That a side battling back from 0/2 in the first over to losing only two wickets in 142 overs and dictating in the end to share the spoils, defying spirited spells, breaking their opponents' will, with the conditions and time against them, can be momentous. England know they had this game in their pocket. Till Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar put their foot down, played out two nervy sessions on a rock hard Manchester pitch and bullied the hosts into conceding them individual hundreds. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar's unbroken partnership of 203 was essential in the draw between India and England at Old Trafford. (PTI) This was unfinished business for Jadeja, who was stranded at the other end of Lord's when Mohammed Siraj couldn't stop the ball from rolling on to his stumps and dislodging the bail. But more for Sundar who didn't even open his account in that innings. The desperation was real for India with the series on the line, Rishabh Pant doubtful to bat, and just how the first session had left the Test wide open. For Sundar, still considered the nearly man, this was the moment of reckoning. Not that he didn't have some in a 12-year Test career. Brisbane 2021 remains etched because of that first innings 62, then the 85 at Chennai, an unbeaten 96 at Ahmedabad, and more recently the fifty at Melbourne. Another country, another Day 5 pitch, and yet again Sundar showcased the nerves of steel required to thwart a side throwing everything at him. 'We responded after losing those two early wickets, never easy,' said Shubman Gill at the presentation ceremony. 'It's all about taking the day five wicket out of the equation. Every ball is an event, take it ball by ball and take it as deep as possible.' Sundar did that with a maturity beyond his years. Initially a little scratchy, he settled down and began to unpack his repertoire. A push here, a nudge there, a solid front-footed defence here and a caressing drive there, Sundar kept going irrespective of the bowler running into him. There was a time he was running the fielders ragged with Jadeja, till he understood that guarding the respective ends was good enough. Outrageous however was the six he hit against Ben Stokes, taking on a short of the length ball and muscling it behind square. Next ball, he pulled Stokes again for a four to get to fifty. It can be asserted that India saved their best for most of the landmarks on the day. For taking the lead, Jadeja cut Stokes behind deep backward point for four and brought out the sword; for the hundred he clobbered Harry Brook for six. Sundar wasn't far behind, smacking Joe Root for three consecutive boundaries to enter the 90s before turning the heat on Brook. By now India were out of the woods and more. Crisis averted, lead acquired, England frustrated to the extent that they were trash talking them into accepting the draw so that they couldn't complete their hundreds — this was as good a day as any for Indian cricket overseas. That it was anchored by an allrounder par excellence and another in the making must be of greater satisfaction for a team still trying to figure out its best combination. Sundar lit up Lord's with his bowling but he probably needed a hundred of this magnitude for the selectors to make him a permanent part of this side. Without his hundred, India couldn't have forced England to settle for only their second draw since Stokes and Brendon McCullum took charge of this side in 2022. 'The quality that India have, they were going to be hard to dislodge and they proved that,' Stokes said later. 'We threw everything at them and they were able to live up to the pressure of the final day. All the hard work was done by India.' In times of transition, newer players have to outdo themselves sometimes to earn the trust of the captain. On Sunday, Sundar did that, and then some.

Explained: What Are Rapid Tiebreaks & How Will They Be Played At Women's World Cup

Last Updated: Koneru Humpy and Divya Deshmukh drew their second game at the FIDE Women's World Chess Cup, pushing the title clash to rapid tiebreaks on Monday. Star Indian chess players Koneru Humpy and Divya Deshmukh drew their second classical game as well on Sunday, July 27, at the FIDE Women's World Chess Cup in Batumi, Georgia, to push the title clash into a tiebreak, which will be played in the rapid format. The tie-breaker, which will be a series of shorter-duration matches, will be played on Monday to determine the winner. Divya, who didn't make the utmost use of her promising opening in the first match on Saturday, July 26, was far more composed against a Queen pawn opening by transposition employed by Humpy in game 2. The latter, the reigning world rapid champion, enters the playoff with stronger credentials, but Divya has showcased brilliant composure in previous tiebreaks, having already beaten GM Zhu Jiner and compatriot D Harika. Humpy got the optical advantage with her pair of bishops out of the opening, but Divya knew that if she placed her knights well, white wouldn't be able to create many issues. What are rapid tiebreaks? The first stage involves playing a set number of rapid matches with a reduced time control, for example, 15 minutes per player with a 10-second increment. If the rapid tiebreak is drawn, a shorter rapid game might be played with even less time per player, for example, 10 minutes with a five-second increment. What are the rules for the FIDE Women's Chess World Cup? In case of a tiebreaker at the tournament, two rapid games of 10 minutes will be played with a 10-second increment after every move. If the final is still tied, two five-minute games will be played with three-second increments after every move. If the final is still tied, two Blitz games of three minutes each will be played, with two-second increments after every move. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 08:49 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
