Kolkata: Aditi Ashok kept ahead of the competition at the end of the second day of the Usha Eastern India Ladies & Junior Girls’ Amateur Golf Championship 2014 at the Par-70 Tollygunge Golf Club here today, but her round today was nowhere near the performance she had given in the first round.

Aditi managed a score of five-over 75, which was a far cry from her 68 on Day One. She had a pretty average day, which included a triple-bogey on the par-four 12th. Her two day aggregate of 143 was seven ahead of Amandeep Drall, who also had a 75 today.

Aditi bogeyed the first and third holes but managed to recover one stroke on the 7th. Unfortunately, she lost it again on the next hole and carded a two-over 36 on her way out. The return leg was even more disastrous, as she bogeyed the 10th and 11th and then tripled the 12th. It was thanks to birdies on the 13th and 15th that she managed to keep things in some sort of control. Aditi and Amandeep were followed by Tvesa Malik with a card of 151. Tvesa had the day’s best card of two-under 72.

Aditi also led Category A, with Ridhima Dilawari and Vidushi Sinha on 151 and Nishtha Madan on 153.

In Category B, Diksha Dagar (158), Riya Ahuja (161) and Arshia Mahant (163) were leading while in Category C, Vasundhara Thiara (153), Tanishka Kumar (154) and Anika Varma (156) were ahead of the rest.
A and B combined saw Aditi, Ridhima and Vidushi leading the pack.
