Amateurs continued to hold their own as Alysa Dutt grabbed a one-shot lead over a star-studded field in the ninth leg of the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour.
Alysa carded 5-under 67 which included an eagle-2 on Par-4 ninth hole. She had four other birdies and just one bogey on Par-5 third hole.
She was one shot clear of former Hero Women’s Indian Open runner-up Amandeep Drall (68) and four others Eti Chaudhary, Durga Nittur, Ananya Garg and Jahaanvie Walia, none of whom have won on the Hero WPGT. The four shot 3-under 69 each.

In one of the lowest scoring rounds on the Tour, 16 players shot under par and another four had par rounds.
The pick of the day was Alysha who birdied the second, dropped a shot on the third and then birdied seventh and eagled ninth to turn in 3-under 35 front nine. She birdied the 12th and the 13th and parred the rest of the round.
Amandeep had four birdies in a bogey free round.
