Sara Byrne Sits 14th At Women’s Indian Open
Cork golfer Sara Byrne sits in a tie for 14th place on a two-over par total following the third round of the Women’s Indian Open. Playing at the DLF Golf and Country Club course, Byrne stands seven shots adrift of tournament leader Vani Kapoor.
Kapoor holds the solo lead as one of only eight players under par in the field. Byrne opened her third round with five consecutive pars before carding a double-bogey on the sixth hole. She recovered immediately by picking up an eagle at the eighth, marking her as the sole player in the third round to eagle that hole, which brought her outward nine to level par.
Back-Nine Bogeys Drop Byrne Down Leaderboard
A run of bogeys from the 12th through the 14th holes damaged her momentum, leaving her to sign for a three-over-par round of 75.
Fellow Irish competitor Anna Foster endured an equally challenging third round on the DLF Golf and Country Club course. Starting her day at the 10th hole, Foster’s scorecard accumulated three birdies, seven bogeys, and a double bogey, dropping her overall score to 15-over par. Meanwhile, Aine Donegan missed the cut and will not feature in the weekend action.
