Harendra and Shamim shot identical scores of five-under-65 at the Bombay Presidency Golf Club (BPGC) on Wednesday. Md Islam of Patna is in third place at four-under-66.<\/p>\n<p>Harendra Gupta, a winner on the PGTI this year, got off to a terrific start as he birdied the first hole. He then picked up an eagle on the par-5 fourth hole where he found the green in two shots. Gupta picked up two more strokes on the 16th and 18th. He made a decent chip-putt on the 16th and converted an 18-footer on the 18th to end the day with a bogey-free round.<\/p>\n<p>Gupta said, \u201cI took advantage of the par-5 holes today as I picked up strokes on all four of them. I also had a couple of lip-outs today otherwise my score would\u2019ve been even better. I\u2019ve been in good form&nbsp;recently and am regularly finishing in the top-10. My new clubs have helped me raise my game. I\u2019ll look to build on this solid start in the next three rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shamim Khan, who won on the PGTI two weeks back, began with a birdie on the first on Wednesday before dropping a stroke on the second. He then enjoyed a golden run of three straight birdies on the fourth, fifth and sixth. Shamim sank a 15-footer on the fifth and a 25-feet putt on the sixth. Thereafter, he birdied the 10th, 16th and 18th and bogeyed the 14th to end up with the joint best score of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Shamim said, \u201cMy putting percentage has improved in recent weeks and that has helped my game. I sank two long putts today and also a couple of putts from eight to 10 feet. The chipping was also good, especially on the 16th and 18th. I\u2019ll look to capitalize on this fantastic start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Md Islam made an eagle on the first and two more birdies to be placed third at four-under-66.<\/p>\n<p>Abhinav Lohan of Faridabad and Deepinder Singh Kullar of Gurgaon are in tied fourth at three-under-67.<\/p>\n<p>SSP Chowrasia, Mukesh Kumar and former champion Ashok Kumar are a further stroke behind along with R Murthy, Ranjit Singh Rathore, amateur Karan Taunk, Ajeetesh Sandhu and Ikramuddin Shah.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/00-harendra-gupta.jpg\" width=\"200\" alt=\"harendra gupta\" style=\"margin: 6px; float: left;\" \/>Mumbai<\/strong>: Harendra Gupta of Chandigarh and Delhi\u2019s Shamim Khan share the lead at the end of round one of the CG Open 2012.
