Teenaged amateur Sneha takes lead

HYDERABAD: Talented teenaged amateur Sneha Singh made good use of her local knowledge of the Hyderabad Golf Club layout amidst the picturesque Golconda Fort, by carding two-over 73 to take the first round lead on Wednesday.

Sneha, who just turned 15 in June this year, had three birdies, one bogey and two double bogeys on the challenging but exciting course of the Hyderabad Golf Association. Sneha was chased by the experienced Vani Kapoor who, playing her first event in two months, shot three-over 74 despite starting the day with three bogeys in a row.
