Tvesa Malik hung on while Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar exited the AIG women’s British Open at the halfway stage here on Friday.

Tvesa was two-over through five holes following a double bogey on the par-4 second hole in the second round. She had an 8-over 79 on the first day.

At 10-over, the Indian still has a chance of making the weekend as the cut could come at eight-over or nine-over. However, Aditi (78-78) and Diksha (79-78) couldn’t contend with the tough conditions.

While Aditi finally managed her sole birdie in 36 holes at the par-3 fifth, Diksha had a birdie and an eagle on par-4 13th and 18th holes on the first day. However, she had no birdies on the second day.
