Continuing with her sparkling form, Delhi golfer Vani Kapoor grabbed the sole lead after managing a par 72 in the the second round of the fifth leg of the Hero Women's Professional Golf Tour, here today.
Overnight joint leader Vani is now two shots clear of Shweta Galande at the ITC, Classic Golf Resort.
Ankita Tiwana, who was joint first after day one slipped to fifth position after a dismal performance in the second round with a score of 7 over 79.
