Special Arrangement https://th-i.thgim.com/public/incoming/v75wez/article71611966.ece/alternates/FREE_1200/170330.jpg Gurugram Shannon Tan preferred consistency over flamboyance, playing a bogey-free opening round in her title defence of the Hero Women’s Indian Open here on Thursday for a share of the second spot, even as Chiara Tamburlini rocked the DLF Golf and Country Club with aggressive play to go top of the leaderboard. Chiara delivered a five-under 67 on a tricky course that has tested the best over the years, racking up seven birdies and dropping shots on the seventh and 15th holes to finish one stroke ahead of Shannon and Argentine Magdalena Simmermacher (tied on 68). Pranavi Urs and Avani Prashanth led the Indian charge and were part of a five-way tie at fifth spot with two-under 70.
