Vani Kapoor, who has not finished below the second place on the domestic WPGT in the last five starts, has also won the fourth, fifth and sixth legs of the Tour
As Hitaashee moved into contention, the other three Indians Diksha Dagar (71) at T-30, Avani Prashanth (72) at T-35 and Tvesa Malik (70) at T-43 also made the cut. That made it four out of four Indians into the final round.
Apart from Diksha and Pranavi, the other three are Tvesa Malik, Avani Prashanth and Hitaashee Bakshi, who makes her first LET start outside India. Hitaashee's LET appearances have all come at her home event, the Women's Indian Open, so she will be keen to make a mark outside the country.
Avani Prashanth birdied the third and the fifth and then added two more on the 11th and the 17th as she played superbly. She found 13 of the 14 fairways and 17 of the 18 greens. She needed 32 putts and some putts missed narrowly, but the overall game looked very good
Pranavi, a former winner at her home Tour, Women's Pro Golf Tour, started with a bogey on the Par-5 tenth but then recovered quickly five birdies on the remaining eight holes on the back nine. She added one more on the second and was 5-under to be T-4 when play was suspended
Vani Kapoor dropped two late bogeys but maintained focus to get a birdie on the final hole to take sole lead after the first day of the fifth leg of the Women's Pro Golf Tour at the Classic Golf & Country Club. Vani, the winner of the fourth leg last month, shot 2-under 70 and took a one
