Having started the day tied for second, Kapur cut a frustrated figure in his front-nine where he was staring at an outward 40 at the turn.<\/p>\n
He started well with a birdie on the second hole but dropped five shots starting from the sixth hole to the ninth with three bogeys and one double-bogey.<\/p>\n
“It was not great. I started off pretty steady and gave myself a lot of chances. But I let it slip towards the end of the front nine, which is quite disappointing. <\/p>\n
“I hit two bad shots, made a double and two bogeys in a hurry,” said Kapur.<\/p>\n
The Indian managed to regain his composure and got back into the game with three birdies in his inward-nine to end the day tied for eighth place, six shots behind leaders Peter Uihlein and Brett Rumford.<\/p>\n
“When I made the turn, I said, you still can fight back. I felt I was playing good and I knew I could bounce back.<\/p>\n
“It’s nice to fight back and have a little bit of a better taste in my mouth and not a bitter one as I was walking off the ninth green,” said the Indian.<\/p>\n
Although Kapur was feeling the effects of a shoulder injury, he was quick to rule that out for his erratic form at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club.<\/p>\n
“No, it’s not the shoulder. That would be making an excuse. My shoulder was a lot worse yesterday, but much better today. <\/p>\n
“I just had a couple of bad swings and I got a little impatient to be honest on the eighth and ninth holes. There’s obviously two rounds still to go, so a good round tomorrow could put me back in it,” said Kapur.<\/p>\n
Kapur, along with compatriots Himmat Rai, Chiragh Kumar and Gaganjeet Bhullar will progress into weekend rounds.<\/p>\n
The ISPS Handa Perth International is the only golf tournament in Australia to be tri-sanctioned by the Asian Tour, PGA Tour of Australasia and European Tour and sees the best players from the Tour returning to Australia after seven years.<\/p>\n
