VISAKHAPATNAM, Feb 7: Sneha Singh produced three birdies in a span of four holes on the back nine of the East Point Golf Club to take a two-shot lead at the end of the opening round of the fourth Leg of Women's Pro Golf Tour here on Wednesday. A winner of the second leg this season, Sneha shot two-under 70 at the par-72 course and was the only player to score under par. Her arch-rival Hitaashee Bakshi, who also has a win this season, was tied for second with Khushi Khanijau. Hitaashee and Khushi carded 72 each. Ridhima Dilawari was the sole fourth at 74 despite a disappointing run of three bogeys in a row on the front nine. Amateur Zara Anand, making a rare appearance in a pro event, performed well with two-over 74 and was tied for fifth alongside Ananya Garg and Jasmine Shekar. Sneha had as many as five birdies, the most on the first day. She opened with a birdie before dropping a shot on the second. She birdied ninth to turn in 1-under. On the back nine, after a bogey on the 10th, which brought her to even par, Sneha picked three quick birdies on 11th, 13th and 14th. A late bogey saw her finish at 70.
