Shenzhen, November 6, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Indian golfer Pranavi Urs secured her place in the weekend rounds of the 2026 China Championship at Mission Hills China in Shenzhen after finishing the first 36 holes at one-under-par.
After opening with an even-par 73, Pranavi carded a one-under 72 in the second round to finish at one-under overall and make the cut. She is tied 58th and will look to improve her position over the final two rounds.
Pranavi began her second round on the back nine with consecutive birdies on the 10th and 11th holes but gave back both shots on the 12th and 14th. She recovered with a birdie on the par-five 18th before recording pars throughout her second nine.
The cut fell at one-under-par, with 67 players advancing to the final two rounds. Pranavi, who won at the Asian Games and finished fourth at the Women’s Indian Open last month, will now aim for a stronger weekend performance.
China’s Liqi Zeng holds the outright lead at 12-under-par after rounds of 65 and 69. The 20-year-old followed her opening eight-under-par round with a four-under 69 to maintain a one-shot advantage.
Six players are tied for second place at 11-under-par: England’s Charlotte Heath, Mimi Rhodes and Annabell Fuller, China’s Shiyuan Zhou, and Spain’s Luna Sobron Galmes and Ana Peláez Triviño.
Rhodes carded a bogey-free 68, while 16-year-old Zhou produced a seven-under 66 featuring eight birdies. Peláez Triviño also shot 66, highlighted by an eagle on the 18th and four consecutive birdies on the first four holes of her second nine.
China’s amateur golfer Yujie Liu is eighth at 10-under-par. Sara Kouskova of Czechia and defending champion Ruixin Liu are tied for ninth at nine-under-par.
