New Delhi, Nov 19: The 36th Northern India Ladies Open Golf Championship, being played on open strokeplay format, also saw 12-year-old Vaishnavi Sinha, returning a brilliant three over 75, two below her handicap -5, to be placed just one stroke adrift of the leader and one ahead of two-time champion Irina Brar on 76.

Vaishnavi's one over par first half had six pars and a birdie but her playing partner of the day, national champion Shruti Khanna, struggled throughout the day for a disappointing 81 and was languishing on the 12th place.
