Fifty professionals and three amateurs made the cut.<\/p>\n<p>Md Akbar Hossain sank three birdies on the first four holes thanks to some good chip-putts. The 27-year-old Akbar, who hails from Dhaka, conceded a bogey on the fifth but soon added four birdies between the sixth and the 11th. He nearly found the green with his 3-wood tee shot on the par-4 10th to set up an easy birdie.<\/p>\n<p>A 30-feet birdie putt from just off the green on the 15th was one of the highlights of Akbar\u2019s round. He dropped a bogey on the 16th but still ended the day on top of the leaderboard.<\/p>\n<p>Akbar, a professional since 2018 and a full card holder on the PGTI, said, \u201cI continued to hit a lot of greens in regulation for the second successive day. That\u2019s what helped me create many birdie opportunities once again. My hitting has been exceptional so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though BGCC is not my home course, I know the conditions well here since I play here quite often and have even had a runner-up finish at a local event at this venue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kshitij Naveed Kaul made an astonishing 10 birdies at the cost of a lone bogey to fall just one short of Indian professional Kapil Kumar\u2019s course record of 62 set in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old Kaul, a two-time PGTI winner, scored six birdies on the back-nine thanks to some outstanding approach shots and up and downs as he landed it within five feet on five occasions. His lone bogey was the result of a three-putt on the 15th. On the front-nine, Kshitij added four more birdies including a 25-feet conversion on the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>Kshitij said, \u201cI put myself in great positions thanks to my accurate approach shots today. Even when I missed the green, I made some quality chip-putts. I took advantage of all the par-5s draining birdies on all four of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve enjoyed a good start to the season with a top-20 followed by a top-5 result at the two events in Ahmedabad. So I feel my game is in good shape at the moment and I\u2019m looking to build on this foundation over the last two days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bangladesh\u2019s Md Razu continued in third place after shooting a second consecutive 68 that took his total to eight-under 136.<\/p>\n<p>Bangladesh\u2019s premier golfer Md Siddikur Rahman, followed up his first round of 71 with a 66 on Thursday to rise three spots to fourth position at seven-under 137.<\/p>\n<p>Divesh Rana was the next best Indian after Kshitij Naveed Kaul as the former occupied tied fifth place at six-under 138 along with Bangladesh\u2019s Badal Hossain.<\/p>\n<p>Md Zamal Hossain Mollah, another prominent name from Bangladesh, was placed tied 20th at even-par 144.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chattogram: Md Akbar Hossain of Bangladesh kept up the tempo to maintain his lead in round two of the Mujib Borsho Chattogram Open 2022 being played at the Bhatiary Golf &amp; Country Club in Chattogram.
