Vani, playing her first LET event in a long time, shot 6-over 78, while Astha struggled to 11-over 83. The cut is likely to fall around 3-over or 4-over.

Australia's Stephanie Kyriacou shot a first round of 66 to lead by two strokes over England's Lily May Humphreys.

Diksha and Tvesa, both of whom missed getting into the Top-60 for the Olympic Games in Tokyo, had an eventful day with four birdies against five bogeys each. The duo is looking for a solid week to cement their place in the season-ending Race to Costa del Sol.

Four golfers are on three-under-par with Spain's Maria Hernandez, Wales' Lydia Hall, Austria's Christine Wolf and Netherlands' Dewi Weber all with 69.

Six players sit at T-7 on two-under-par including the 2021 Tipsport Czech Ladies Open champion Atthaya Thitikul.
