Asawa cards day's best

Asawa, just 13, is now tied at the third position in overall division (Category A and B) along with Category A player Manu Gandas (73, 74).

Prakhar had four birdies -- on the third, fifth, seventh and 18th holes -- against an equal number of bogeys. Asawa leads Category B, where he is followed by Piyush Sangwan (76, 72) and Viraj Madappa (76, 76).

In the girls section, all three girls in Category B, Aditi Ashok, Ridhima Dilawari and Seher Atwal, came back with cards of two-over 73.

But in terms of total after 36 holes, the 13-year-old Aditi from Bangalore held the spotlight with her second successive 73 which puts her way ahead in the girls A & B categories.
