INDIAN BIRDIES LAST TWO HOLES AT DELHI
GANGJEE CLICKETY-CLICKS TO LEAD
BY TWO IN PANASONIC OPEN INDIA
ASIAN TOUR NEWS RELEASE
Delhi: Home favourite Rahil Gangjee fired a brilliant
six-under-par 66 to seize a two-shot lead after the opening round of the
Panasonic Open India today.
Treating
his round like a game of chess, the amiable Indian birdied the last two
holes in near benign morning conditions at the Delhi Golf Club to put
himself in position to end a 10-year title drought on the Asian Tour.
Title
holder Wade Ormsby of Australia birdied the last hole from close range
after missing an eagle chance to tie for second place on 68 with
Singapore’s Choo Tze Huang, Bangladeshi Zamal Hossain and Rashid Khan of
India, who won at the Delhi course in March.
Thailand’s
Jazz Janewattananond and Australia’s Unho Park were amongst seven
players tied in sixth place on identical 69s, three shots off the pace
in the event sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Professional Golf Tour of
India (PGTI).
