Royal Calcutta Golf Club: Neha Tripathi, one of the most experienced stars on the Indian women’s circuit, produced a stunning 7-under 65 that catapulted her into a 3-shot lead after the second round of the Rs 15 lakh ninth Leg of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour at the Clover Greens.

Even as the 33-year-old Neha made a move to the top, overnight leader Amandeep Drall suffered a big drop with a round of 4-over 76, seven shots worse than her first round. Amandeep has now slipped from sole first to tied ninth at the Clover Greens par-72 layout.

Neha, who has not won since 2023, a year during which she lifted the Trophy three times, followed up her first round of 1-under 71 with a 65 that included six birdies and an eagle against one bogey.
