Fifty-eight professionals made the cut.<\/p>\n<p>Karandeep Kochhar, a 10th tee starter, couldn\u2019t have asked for a better start to the day as he holed his chip from 35 yards for eagle on the Par-4 10th. A couple of good iron shots and two long conversions then earned him birdies on the 13th and 16th.<\/p>\n<p>The bogeys on the 18th and the second holes did not derail his round as Karandeep rallied with a great recovery shot over the trees to claim an eagle on the seventh. Kochhar followed that up with a 15-feet birdie conversion on the eighth.<\/p>\n<p>Karandeep said, \u201cConsistency was the key for me today. I stuck to my game-plan of hitting the driver everywhere. I had a great start with the eagle that really got the momentum going for me. The highlight of the round was the approach shot on the seventh that led to an eagle. I played to my game-plan by being aggressive there. Kudos to my caddie who guided me well on that shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs this is my seventh tournament in as many weeks, my back is hurting a bit. So, it\u2019s important for me to get some physiotherapy and focus on rest and recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kshitij Naveed Kaul drove the Par-4 14th green for the second consecutive day to pick up a birdie there. He added another birdie thereafter but stumbled with a couple of bogeys on the 17th and third. Kaul\u2019s purple patch began with his outstanding bunker shot on the fifth that led to a tap-in birdie.<\/p>\n<p>Kshitij, who won his maiden professional title at the Poona Club Golf Course back in 2019 and has also won amateur, junior and sub-junior events at the same venue, went on to bag an eagle with a 12-feet conversion on the Par-5 seventh. He signed off with a flourish by following up the eagle with birdies from short range on the eighth and ninth.<\/p>\n<p>Kshitij said, \u201cI just feel I\u2019m beginning to find my rhythm now after a couple of decent finishes in the last two events. I\u2019ve been striking it really well and closing the day with eagle-birdie-birdie was quite a confidence-booster. I\u2019ve always played well at this course and that will be an added advantage going ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shivendra Singh Sisodia posted the day\u2019s best score of 64 to jump 35 spots to tied fifth at seven-under 135. The three other golfers bunched in tied fifth were last year\u2019s TATA Steel PGTI Ranking champion Om Prakash Chouhan (67), Shaurya Bhattacharya (67) and Aryan Roopa Anand (67).<\/p>\n<p>Pranav Mardikar (68) was the best-placed among the Pune-based professionals as he occupied tied 14th position at five-under 137.<\/p>\n<p>Local favourite Udayan Mane struck a 67 to be placed tied 22nd at three-under 139.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pune: Chandigarh\u2019s Karandeep Kochhar and Kshitij Naveed Kaul of Delhi continued as co-leaders for the second day in succession at The Poona Club Open, an INR 1 crore event, being played at the Poona Club Golf Course in Pune.
