WPGT 2025: Another Amateur Saanvi Takes Lead On Day 2
Bombay Presidency Golf Club: Vietnam-bound amateur Saanvi Somu played a steady bogey-free second round of two-under 68 to move into the lead in the fourth leg of the Women’s Pro Golf Tour (WPGT) at the Bombay Presidency Golf Club here on Wednesday. The 16-year-old Saanvi has finished runner-up multiple times on the WPGT, the latest of which was the first leg this season. After Mannat Brar was on the top a day earlier, Saanvi is the second amateur to take the spotlight this week.
Saanvi, who will be in the Indian team at next week’s Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship, shot 73 in the first round. In the second she parred the first 11 holes before she found her first birdie on the Par-4 12th hole. That was followed by five steady pars and a birdie on the Par-5 18th for a 68. At 1-over 141 she is one ahead of the experienced Vani Kapoor who added an even par 70 to her first round of 72.
Vani, who will soon be playing on the international circuit, had three birdies and three bogeys in her first 11 holes and parred the last seven. Another amateur Anuradha Chaudhuri shot even par 70 to get into a three-way tie with Vani and Seher Atwal (72-70).
