Fifty-four professionals made the cut.<\/p>\n<p>Udayan Mane sank two birdies on the front-nine and added six more on the back-nine till the 17th. Mane left himself birdie putts within seven feet on all the holes except the 17th where he drained it from 18 feet. His only bogey came as a result of a three-putt on the closing 18th.<\/p>\n<p>Udayan said, \u201cKalhaar has been my home course for a couple of years and I\u2019ve also won here before so I know this track well. However, I\u2019ve never played Kalhaar with this much wind, so today\u2019s round was special and added a spring in my step as I look forward to the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hit the ball well, made a lot of putts and importantly played smart. I was not overly aggressive on the par-5s as I chose to lay up on a couple of them. I\u2019m proud of the way I handled myself in these tough conditions and hit the shots that I needed to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Khalin Joshi, who began the day from the back-nine, collected two birdies and an eagle between the 11th and 14th to make the turn at four-under for the day. Joshi then added three more birdies on the front-nine as he landed it close through the day.<\/p>\n<p>Khalin said, \u201cI think I was very calm today and more confident of my hitting and putting as compared to round one. During the Indian Open week, I went through a small swing change as I was working on my posture and ball position. I feel a lot more comfortable after making those changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve played well here at Kalhaar in the past, having also won here. It\u2019s a ball-striker\u2019s golf course and I enjoy playing here. The wind is always a big factor here and so is the length of the course and the challenges posed by the undulating greens as the pins can be tricky a lot of times. You need to trust your instincts here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahmedabad: Pune\u2019s Udayan Mane, playing at his former home course, struck the day\u2019s joint lowest score of seven-under 65 to surge into the lead at a total of 10-under 134 after round two of the INR 2 crore Indorama Ventures Open Golf Championship 2025 being played at the Kalhaar Blues &amp;
