\"anirbanBangalore: Local favourite Anirban Lahiri sizzled with an awesome 10-under-62 to seize the lead in round two of the PGTI Eagleburg Open being played at the Eagleton Golf Resort near Bangalore. Lahiri\u2019s two-day total stands at nine-under-135. Lucknow\u2019s Sanjay Kumar fired a five-under-67 on Wednesday to be placed second at eight-under-136.
 <\/span><\/p>\n

Anirban Lahiri (73-62) was off to a flying start in round two as he had a 30-feet eagle putt on the opening 10th where he managed to extract a birdie. The 26-year-old went on to convert 15-footers for birdies on the 11th and 12th. Anirban\u2019s chip for eagle missed the hole by a whisker on the 15th where he picked up his fourth birdie of the day.
 <\/p>\n

Lahiri carried on the good work on his second-nine as he collected birdies on the first, third, fourth and fifth. He nailed a 20-feet putt on the third and a 12-footer on the fifth. The three-time Asian Tour winner recovered well from the bunker to salvage a birdie on the seventh before landing his chip within inches of the pin for his last birdie on the ninth. He thus signed off with a near-perfect bogey-free round.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, Lahiri also holds the record for the joint lowest-to-par score in a single round ever recorded in India, thanks to his round of 12-under-60 posted a couple of years back in Greater Noida.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty close to a dream round. I didn\u2019t miss a single green today and had eight one-putts. I felt good about my hitting as I did not hit bad golf shots unlike the first round. I was very calm through the day and judged the speed of the greens to perfection,\u201d said Lahiri, who won on the PGTI last week.<\/p>\n

The 2009 Rolex Rankings champion added, \u201cAnother positive aspect was finding the green in two shots on two par-5s, the 10th and fourth. I had three missed putts from a range of six to eight feet but that\u2019s bound to happen in every round. I\u2019d say I\u2019m back on friendly terms with the course after the ordinary score in round one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lahiri\u2019s score was lower than the course record of 64 but did not count as a course record due to the application of the \u2018preferred lie\u2019 rules.<\/p>\n

Sanjay Kumar (69-67), who is the joint holder of the course record of 64, sank six birdies against a lone bogey in his 67 on Wednesday thanks to his good form with the wedges. Sanjay now occupies second position one shot behind the leader.<\/p>\n

Sri Lankan K Prabagaran (68-69), the overnight joint leader, slipped to third place despite a solid 69 in round two. His total reads seven-under-137.<\/p>\n

Gurgaon\u2019s Arshpreet Thind and Rahil Gangjee of Kolkata, the other two joint leaders from round one, are now placed tied fourth at five-under-139 along with Bangalore\u2019s Chikkarangappa S, Abhinav Lohan of Faridabad and Delhi\u2019s Naman Dawar.<\/p>\n

The cut came down at three-over-147. Fifty-three professionals and one amateur made the cut.<\/p>\n

Lahiri congratulates Kapur<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anirban Lahiri, who made his debut appearance at a Major during the British Open last year, congratulated Shiv Kapur on qualifying for the 2013 British Open. Lahiri said, \u201cI got the news about Shiv\u2019s qualification last night. I\u2019m really happy for him and would like to congratulate him for making it to his second Open. The Open is the most prestigious golf tournament in the world and every golfer\u2019s ultimate dream. I wish Shiv all the best.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
