While Chouhan shot a three-under-69 in round two to move up two places from his overnight tied third, Kochhar came up with an even-par-72 to gain one spot from his overnight second on an extremely windy day at the Noida Golf Course.<\/p>\n
Kolkata\u2019s Shankar Das (70) occupied third place at six-under-138 while Honey Baisoya (69) of Delhi was a further shot back in fourth position.<\/p>\n
The cut was declared at three-over-147. Fifty-nine professionals and one amateur made the cut.<\/p>\n
Round one leader Naman Dawar of Delhi slipped to tied 10th<\/sup> place at two-under-142 after a round of 78.<\/p>\n Amateur Simarjeet Singh (72), also occupying tied 10th<\/sup>, was the highest-placed among the Noida-based golfers. He was also the only amateur to make the cut.<\/p>\n Delhi\u2019s Manav Jaini fired the day\u2019s best score of four-under-68. He closed the day in tied 34th<\/sup> place at two-over-146.<\/p>\n Om Prakash Chouhan (68-69) didn\u2019t strike the ball as well as he did in round one but enjoyed a good day with the putter. His four birdies came as a result of conversions from 10 to 12 feet.<\/p>\n Chouhan said, \u201cI\u2019ve been playing well since the Pune event last week. I recently made some changes to my swing and those weren\u2019t working out so I went back to my old swing. That seems to have made the difference to my game. Scoring well in the tough conditions today added to my confidence.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel I need to improve more on my hitting if I have to stay up there on the leaderboard this week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Om Prakash Chouhan of Mhow and Chandigarh\u2019s Karandeep Kochhar share the halfway lead at seven-under-137 at the inaugural Paramount GolfForeste Delhi \u2013 NCR Open Golf Championship 2018.
