With a second-place finish in Mumbai behind him, Ridhima Dilawari played steady golf to take a one-stroke lead on day two of the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour event at Kalhaar Blues & Greens in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

Ridhima had back-to-back birdies twice – on holes seven and eight and then on 14 and 15 against bogeys on five and 10 to finish with a 2-under par 70, the WGAI said.

Eager to make amends after an ordinary start to the season in the opening match of the BOGC, Sneha Singh fired a bogey-free round with one birdie for a 1-under 71 for second place.

Amandeep Drall and amateur Zara Anand shared third place at level par 72s.

Hero Order of Merit 2025 winner Vani Kapoor, Jahanvi Bakshi, Nayanika Sanga, amateur Mahreen Bhatia, Karishma Govind and rookie pro Saanvi Somu were fifth at 1 over 73.

Ridhima, who plans to focus on domestic events this year, opened with four pars before dropping a shot at the Par-5 fifth.

She recovered with birdies at seven and eight, but another bogey and two more wins left her with an under-par round and the lead.

Clean slate

Sneha, who won twice in 2025, parred 15 straight holes before finding birdie on the Par-3 16^e before finishing with two more par.

Amandeep had two birdies against a double bogey, while Zara made a bogey start and had another on 17, but also had two birdies on her card.

Nayanika had five birdies against four bogeys, three of which came in the first four holes, in addition to a triple on the Par-3 seventh.

Vani made a bogey-bogey start, but two birdies repaired the damage before he dropped another shot on the Par-5 14^e.

Last week’s winner, Jasmine Shekar, had a disappointing 7-over 79 with four bogeys, two doubles and just one birdie on the final hole.
