Akshay Sharma holds on to the
lead in round two
Jaipur, October 24, 2012: Akshay Sharma of Chandigarh leads by one shot after round two of the
PGTI Feeder Tour event being played at the Rambagh Golf Club in Jaipur. Sharma returned
an even-par-70 in round two to take his total to six-under-134. Damodar Kumawat
of Jaipur is one stroke behind the leader in second place.
The cut was declared at seven-over-147.
Thirty-nine professionals made the cut for the third and final round scheduled
to be played on Thursday, October 25.
Akshay Sharma’s (64-70) second round
was dotted with five birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey. Akshay, who
started from the 10th, had a brilliant first nine as he birdied the
15th, 16th and 18th to move to nine-under for
the tournament. He then had a poor run from the first to the third where he
made double bogey-bogey-bogey to drop four strokes. Sharma came back well with
birdies on the fourth and seventh before dropping his final bogey of the day on
the eighth.
Akshay said, “I had some good
moments today. I chipped-in from the bunker on the fourth. I also sank a
20-footer on the 16th and landed it pretty close on the seventh and
18th. I had a rough patch on the first, second and third where I lost
focus and hit some ordinary shots. I’ll look to play regulation golf in order
to stay ahead in the final round.”
Damodar Kumawat
(68-67) is placed second at five-under-135. His second round featured six birdies
and three bogeys.
Rahul Bajaj of Noida
is in third place at three-under-137.
