Golfpark Holzhäusern (Switzerland), August 15, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Pranavi Urs emerged as the only Indian golfer to make the halfway cut at the Swiss Ladies Open, while compatriots Tvesa Malik and Diksha Dagar bowed out after contrasting second rounds at Golfpark Holzhäusern.
Pranavi, who began with a two-under 70, carded another two-under 69 to move to three-under 139 and lie tied 28th heading into the weekend.
Tvesa improved from her opening 72 with a one-under 71 but finished at one-over par, missing the cut by one stroke. Diksha, who, like Pranavi and Tvesa, is supported by Hero, followed a first-round 71 with a 78 to finish seven-over.
Sweden’s Kajsa Arwefjall strengthened her grip on the tournament with a bogey-free 66 after opening with a 64. Her 12-under total gives her a three-shot lead.
Arwefjall began her second round on the back nine and birdied the par-four 10th before making eight consecutive pars. She then added four more birdies on the front nine — at the first, second, fourth and seventh — to pull clear.
The 26-year-old will seek her maiden Ladies European Tour title when she plays in Saturday’s final group alongside Australia’s Whitney Hillier and Ireland’s Anna Foster, who are tied second at nine-under.
Arwefjall finished runner-up at the Swiss event in 2025, when England’s Alice Hewson successfully defended her title. She was also runner-up at the MCB Classic in Mauritius in June and made the cut in both her first two Major appearances last month.
Foster, playing the tournament for the first time, matched Arwefjall’s 66 after opening with a 67. The 24-year-old will feature in the final group of an LET event for the first time.
Germany’s Alexandra Forsterling, the 2023 champion, Wales’ Chloe Williams and England’s Eleanor Givens share fourth place at eight-under. Givens surged late with three birdies to card a 66.
England’s Hannah Screen is seventh at seven-under, while six players are tied eighth at six-under. The group includes defending champion Hewson, who is chasing a third successive title, alongside Finland’s Elina Nummenpaa, Sweden’s Louise Rydqvist, Austria’s Katharina Muehlbauer and Spaniards Luna Sobron Galmes and Amaia Latorre.
