I knew where I stood after 9 when I saw the leader boards. I didn\u2019t do much until 14.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday I birdied three of the last four, so I tried to think that it\u2019s possible today, too, and I ended up birdieing two of the last four, which was good.\u201d Aditi, looking for a fast start just did not get it as she had five pars and a bogey in the first six holes. She then found three birdies in a row from seventh to ninth to turn in 2-under.<\/p>\n<p>On the back nine, Lydia birdied three times without dropping a shot, while Aditi birdied 15 and 16 and missed a couple of others.
