A day after recording a stunning 6-under back nine during her round of 66, Tvesa was hoping to finish her career-best T-6 at Hero Indian Open in 2019 on the Ladies European Tour. The early birdies set the stage, but she failed to get any more birdies on the remaining 16 holes. And also dropped three bogeys on 8th, 9th and 13th and ended with a card of 1-over 73 and a total of 3-under 213 at Golf Club Margara as the Ladies European Tour.

 

India’s other player, Diksha Dagar (72) shot even par and was 3-over for the week and finished T-43 in her first start of 2021. A third Indian Astha Madan (77-80) missed the cut.

It has been a good start to 2021 for Tvesa, who was T-23 in South Africa and now a T-10 places her well on the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit.
