Mani Ram, who scored the first hole-in-one at the new venue, had his moment of glory on the 17<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;hole while Dipankar achieved the feat on the third hole. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Veer Ahlawat, a 10<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;tee starter on Tuesday, got some early momentum with a three-feet birdie conversion on the 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and a 20-feet eagle conversion on the 14<sup>th<\/sup>. The 29-year-old Veer, taking full advantage of his long-hitting prowess on a course suited for long hitters made further strides with birdie tap-ins on the first and second holes. Ahlawat drained a 15-footer for his last birdie of the day on the fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Ahlawat said, \u201cI\u2019ve been feeling good about my game since returning to play on the PGTI in October. I\u2019ve had good results including a victory. This course suits my game as I feel three out of the four Par-5s are reachable in two shots while a couple of Par-4s are drivable distance for me. However, coming from colder weather at last week\u2019s event in Delhi, one needs to adapt quickly to the warmer conditions here. I enjoyed my first competitive round here at KVGC and feel it\u2019s a great layout.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Navi Mumbai:&nbsp;India\u2019s Veer Ahlawat, who won on the PGTI two weeks back, continued his consistent form with a six-under 65 that gave him a two-shot lead on day one of the INR 1 crore CIDCO Open 2025 presented by Larsen &amp;
