Golf: Indian girls slip to ninth place
Hong Kong: The Indian golf team of Gaurika Bishnoi, Ridhima Dilawari and Nishtha Madan ended the second day in tied ninth position at the 37th Queen Sirikit Cup Asia-Pacific Invitational ladies team golf championship here on Thursday.
The Indian trio assembled a card of 151 for the two days for a team total of 298 that saw them slip to ninth from overnight fourth position.
Bishnoi, 17, currently third on the IGU’s ladies amateur tour, paced the team with a 74, while Dilawari, ranked second, added a 77 for the team total 151 in windy conditions.
Meanwhile, 18-year-old Madan, ranked seventh, who carded a par-round on Wednesday, came back with 82 that did not count in the three-to-play, two-to-count format.
Bishnoi who finished as a runner-up at Malaysian ladies amateur team championship last year, was not too content with her round.
“I was playing level par till 13th but bogeys on 14th, 15th and 18th spoilt my game. The course conditions were same like yesterday, but I took few bad decisions and read the lines wrong. I just need to play calm and focus well to get into top three tomorrow,” said Bishnoi.
Other two teams, which are tied on ninth, are Chinese Taipei and China while Korea, winners of the Cup for a record 16 times, took the lead from Hong Kong at 281 in the13-nation field.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
