However with a bogey on the last hole of his front nine, he was 2-under at the turn.

\u201cI am happy to finish on top but matchplay is a different ball game,\u201d said Karan after the round. There are some good matchplay players in fray and it would be an interesting duel,\u201d added the No.1 seed.<\/p>\n
