Pranavi Urs Slips to 15th as Rain Disrupts Irish Open
Pranavi Urs played well again at the Irish Open but moved down to 15th place.
She scored two strokes under par in Saturday’s round.
Rain made the course difficult and caused a 45-minute delay.
Urs started with two birdies, then gave those strokes back with two bogeys.
She recovered with two more birdies and finished with eight straight pars.
Casandra Alexander is leading the tournament by three strokes.
Sara Kouskova and Kajsa Arwefjall are among the golfers chasing her.
Leona Maguire also had a very strong round, but the report gives two different figures for her position.
Pranavi Urs carded a third consecutive under-par round, shooting 70 to reach seven-under after 54 holes.
Urs, the only Indian to make the cut, is tied 15th entering Sunday’s final round.
Casandra Alexander leads at 18-under after a three-under 69 and holds a three-shot advantage.
Sara Kouskova is second at 15-under, while Kajsa Arwefjall moved into contention with a nine-under 63.
Leona Maguire also shot 63, although the report gives conflicting descriptions of her position and score.
