Pranavi T-4 with Five Holes to Play, Diksha T-21 in Round 1 of Joburg Open

Pranavi, a former winner on the Women’s Pro Golf Tour, had a strong start despite a bogey on the par-5 10th hole

Pranavi Urs was in excellent form when the first round of the Joburg Ladies Open was suspended due to a flooded course at Modderfontein Golf Club. At the time of suspension, eight groups had yet to finish their rounds, and play will resume on Friday. Pranavi, who was 5-under through 13 holes, was among those still on the course.
England’s Mimi Rhodes managed to finish her round, carding a brilliant 65 (-8) to take the lead in her rookie season on the Ladies European Tour (LET).

Pranavi, a former winner on the Women’s Pro Golf Tour, had a strong start despite a bogey on the par-5 10th hole. She quickly bounced back with five birdies on the back nine and added another on the second hole, reaching 5-under and tying for fourth place when play was halted.
Rhodes, leading with an 8-under round, is followed by South Africa’s Casandra Alexander (7-under) and Singapore’s Shannon Tan (6-under). Among other Indians, Diksha Dagar finished her round with a score of 71, tying for 21st place. Avani Prashanth and Tvesa Malik struggled, both finishing with 4-over 77 and tied for 107th, needing a strong second round to make the cut.

Rhodes, 23, started her round with a birdie on the 10th hole and continued her flawless performance with a bogey-free round. She posted back-to-back birdies on the 12th and 13th holes, followed by a birdie on the 16th. She then added four more birdies on the front nine, ending her round at 8-under.

Rhodes, who secured her maiden LET title at the Ford Women’s NSW Open in Australia just two weeks ago, hopes to continue this momentum throughout the week. South Africa’s Casandra Alexander sits in second place after carding a round of 66 (-7), with Ireland’s Lauren Walsh and Pranavi tied for fourth at 5-under. Three players are tied for sixth at 4-under, including England’s Alice Hewson, Sweden’s Kajsa Arwefjall, and England’s Hannah Screen, who still has two holes to play.
