Good to see that Aditi and Sharmila r trying their luck on LPGA with Smriti.

Aditi Ashok had a round of E, Smriti finished with +1. Tanya Wadhwa had a +4 round. Sharmila and more than half the field is still to play.

From what I see, T60 make the cut. Aditi and Smriti are already at T39 and T49 with half the field still to play. Hoping for a better 2nd round for both of them.

After end of round 1, Aditi (Even par) is at T68, Smriti and Sharmila (both +1) are at T88 and Tanya Wadhwa (+4) is tied for 193rd position.

There will be a cut after three rounds. The top 130 and ties will play the final/fourth-round. The top 90 and ties after four rounds will advance to Stage II of LPGA Qualifying Tournament the week of October 17-23 in Venice, Florida.

Thank you for that detail, Praj. Hoping for a good second round

End of round 2, Smriti (+1) is at T62, Aditi (+2) T83, Sharmila (+4) T125 and Tanya Wadhwa (+10) is tied for 242nd position.

Superb round of -5 with no blemishes in the card for Aditi today. Currently, top 20 and that surely seals her spot in the second round of qualifying
Bad round by Smriti Mehra to exit the event along with Tanya.
Sharmila on the cut line at 4 over and she hasn't started her round today. Needs atleast par round to play on Sunday or better to finish top 90 come tomorrow...

Sharmila also made the cut with a 74 today that put her at +6 and right at the cut at T121 ... Simi Mehra at +10 and Tanya Wadhwa at +11 missed it of course.

But what a sizzling round by Aditi today. Amazing to see the youngest entry at T21 in a field of some 250+ golfers.

She is one of the youngest but not the youngest. In fact, the youngest entrant is doing even better.

The youngest player in the field, 17-year-old Nasa Hataoka (Japan) carded a 5-under, 67 on the Dinah Shore Course to move from T30 to T7

Coverage by the LPGA has been very pro-Aditi all week and have consistently mentioned here as one of the favourites.

Nice to see Aditi getting the coverage at the LPGA.
The final round will be played at Dinah Shore Course, which is also the host to the ANA Inspiration on the LPGA.

The 2nd day was at Dinah Shore, where Aditi was +2, but she was even on the Gary Player course on the first day and -5 on the Arnold Parlmer course on the third day. Doesn't mean much, but let's hope she will avoid getting 3 bogeys like she had 2 days ago on the Dinah Shore course.

Sharmila had a decent round today with a +1, so he she finishes at +7, which is right at the cut at 90 or below it. She might make it or she might miss it, but a bunch of more players are still to finish to know.

Two bogeys for a + today from Aditi. She finished at -1 for 4 days, and is safely in the cut for Stage-II. She finishes T20. Unfortunately Sharmila missed it by one stroke. She will finish T93, just below the cut. Sad.

Good to see Aditi ended on T20 position.

I m bit confused her name is missing from published list of players for LPGA Qualifying Tournament - Stage II.
LPGA Qualifying Tournament - Stage II Players List

That list has been there from earlier (Aug 15 date on it too). I suppose they will add these 92 players to that list? Not sure.
