Yuvraj Sandhu had a strong start with two successful 10-foot putts and an impressive drive, achieving three birdies in the first five holes. The 28-year-old from Chandigarh, who has won four times this year, faced a slight setback with bogeys on the seventh and eighth holes after hitting trees and suffering a poor bounce.
Regaining his momentum, Sandhu scored birdies on the 11th and 12th thanks to his excellent ball-striking. However, he missed birdie chances on four additional holes thereafter.
“I began better than on day one, anticipating a deeper round today, but the putts didn’t drop on the back nine. I regained some momentum with my ball-striking towards the end of the day. I hope for improved putting in the final two rounds,” Yuvraj expressed.
“The course is quite hilly, making the walk challenging. After my round today, I took a moment to rest my legs. Complete recovery is crucial in these situations for me to perform my best in the last two rounds,” he added.
Saptak Talwar showcased a blend of five birdies and one bogey during his second round, moving up the leaderboard. Earlier this year, he was a winner on the PGTI and managed to sink a 15-footer along with a tap-in for birdies.
Former Digboi champion Veer Ahlawat (71) finished tied for third at six-under 138. Other players sharing third place with Veer include Viraj Madappa (68), Yuvraj Singh (71), and Shivendra Singh Sisdoia (71).
