2025 Hero Order of Merit winner Vani Kapoor fired a 70 to join back-to-back contender Tvesa Malik (even-par 71) in shared lead after 36 holes of Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour Leg 4 at Poona Club Golf Course.

Vani mixed birdie-bogey bursts on front (closing birdie for 34), adding 11th birdie against 14th bogey. Tvesa opened birdie, parred six, stumbled double-bogey 8th (front 1-over), then rallied with birdies at 11/14/16 vs. 15/17 bogeys.

T5 at 3-over 145: Neha Tripathi (70), amateur Lavanya Gupta (73), Anuradha Chaudhuri (75). Jasmine Shekar solo 8th (74); T9 at 148: Nayanika Sanga (70), Jahanvi Bakshi (71), Lavanya Jadon (73), Vidhatri Urs (75), Durga Nittur (75).
