Lee-Anne will be paired with Clare Choi of Australia and Indian unprofessional Gauri Monga. Besides that, England’s Laura Davies has been through tense condition from past few days. Her Golf bag has been disappeared, but India’s Golf ‘ambassador’ Smriti Simi Mehra has managed to convince the experienced campaigner to still stay and carry on the tournament. By the way she is paired with defending champion Phatlum Pornanong and India’s Sharmila Nicollet.
Davies, who arrived here on Monday to participate at the event, was very disappointed about the Golf bag that went missing which made her to spend two days without it and also has to miss the Wednesday’s Pro-Am because of that. But Simi has assured her that she will give her the bag which will be almost similar to her bag which made the English lady to continue to shoot for the title.
