As Tvesa dropped two shots on the back nine and Ananya dropped one, Pranavi picked three in the first four holes of the back nine. In all she had four birdies in a six-hole run from eighth to the 13th. Earlier Pranavi double bogeyed the Par-4 third and bogeyed the Par-5 fourth to go eight-over for the tournament at that stage. The four birdies later on brought her back into the fight for the title, as she is now four-over 144.
