Gaurav dropped another bogey on the 17th but still ended the day with the joint best score.<\/p>\n<p>Gaurav, a multiple winner on the PGTI, said, \u201cBesides some quality chip-putts, I also made some good par-saves today. Importantly, I stuck to my gameplan and things fell in place thereafter. I\u2019ve been quite consistent so far in the second half of the season. I had top-20s in the last two events so I feel my game is on the right track and now it\u2019s about putting four good rounds together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jamal Hossain, like Gaurav, also began his round with a bogey on the 10th. However, it was an upward graph for Jamal from there on as he collected birdies on the 15th and second courtesy a couple of top-class chip shots before finally chipping-in for an eagle-two on the Par-4 sixth hole.<\/p>\n<p>Jamal said, \u201cI\u2019m feeling the momentum from last week and hoping to repeat what I did in Hyderabad. However, I missed far too many putts for my liking today. I just need to sharpen that aspect to be in the mix here too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>S Prasanth of Chennai was the highest-placed among the Tamil Nadu-based professionals as he struck a 77 to be tied 52nd.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coimbatore: Noida\u2019s Gaurav Pratap Singh and Bangladesh\u2019s Jamal Hossain, last week\u2019s winner on the PGTI, posted scores of three-under 69 in extremely windy conditions to hold the joint lead after round one of the INR 1 crore Tamil Nadu Open 2025 Presented by SIPCOT &amp; TANCEM being played at the Coimbatore Golf Club.
