The second leg of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour (WPGT) 2026 ignited at Kalhar Blues & Greens in Ahmedabad, where Riddhima Dilawari posted a commanding 2-under 70 to lead by one shot following Wednesday’s opening round.
Building on her strong second-place finish from leg one, Dilawari mixed caution with opportunism. Bogeys on five and ten were countered by birdie runs on 7-8 and 14-15, her final-eight-hole steadiness shining brightest.
Close behind, Sneha Singh grinded out a bogey-free 71 with a solitary birdie on the par-3 16th, her 15 consecutive pars underscoring resilience after a shaky opener last week.
Six golfers knotted at 1-over 73 for fifth: defending merit queen Vani Kapoor, Jahnavi Bakshi, high-birdie Nayanika Sanga, amateur Mahreen Bhatia, Karishma Govind, and rookie Sanvi Somu.
This year, Dilawari commits to WPGT and IGL circuits for focused growth. Her round’s narrative: steady pars, timely recoveries, and a late charge to under-par glory.
Sneha, holder of two 2025 titles, methodically parsed her way to contention.
Mid-pack dramas included Amandeep’s birdie-double bogey mix and Zara’s bogey-bookended amateur effort. Nayanika thrilled with five birdies amid bogey chaos, including a triple on seven. Vani’s comeback birdies met a 14th-hole bogey.
Jasmin Shekhar’s title defense sputtered at 7-over 79, with bogeys aplenty and a closing birdie as a minor highlight.
With momentum on her side, Dilawari eyes a breakthrough victory as the field braces for three more rounds of high-stakes golf.
