Jeev had a mixed day today and in the end he finished the second round at -1 to go to -7 for the tournament. Yesterday, he was able to keep the bogies count in chechk, but today he could not do that as the number of bogeys swelled to 5. Fortunately, the birdies kept coming (6 birdies) and ensured an under par round.

Jyoti is still likely to finish in top 10 after the second day, but the gap from the leader is set to increase.

[ajay]

Jeev maintains a top 5 position and he finishes in 5th position all by himself, just 3 behind the leaders. Jeev is still in contention and he need one more round like the opening round to challenge the field. Go Jeev!
