The 25-year-old Arjun, searching for his maiden title, also made a couple of quality chip-putts for birdies and narrowly missed an eagle from 15 feet on the eighth.<\/p>\n<p>Arjun said, \u201cI read the lines on the greens really well and thus managed to roll in many birdie putts. I must compliment the Rambagh Golf Club for providing us with excellent greens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a strategy in place. Hitting close and making putts and giving myself chances on the Par-5s as well as capitalizing on the short Par-3s and Par-4s will be the key overall. My game has been trending well over the past few weeks. So I just want to keep repeating what I\u2019ve been doing recently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pranav Mardikar returned eight birdies in exchange for a bogey on day one to match his personal best score of seven-under. His previous round of seven-under was also achieved at the Rambagh Golf Club last year. Pranav came really close to making a hole-in-one on the Par-3 16th where his tee shot stopped an inch from the pin. He also made four birdie conversions from a range of 10 to 20 feet.<\/p>\n<p>Pranav said, \u201cI had a good ball-striking day and hit almost every ball in play. I did well with the putter too. I have had the momentum from last week\u2019s event in Pune where I had a decent finish. It\u2019s essential for me to capitalize on this start because I\u2019m just outside the top-60 in the PGTI\u2019s merit list at the moment and am looking to seal my card this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have some good memories of my round of seven-under at Jaipur last year. My short-game has been consistent and my ball-striking has also shown up in the last two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaipur: Delhi golfer Arjun Prasad shot a sizzling opening round of eight-under 62, a bogey-free effort, to take the lead at the INR 1 crore Rajasthan Tourism presents Jaipur Open 2024 being played at the Rambagh Golf Club in Jaipur.
