AA had a very good -1 round,, but a three putt on 2nd and poor tee shot on 5th killed his chances for weekend.. he should drop out of top 25 :damn: :damn:.. rounding up a very ordinary day for indian golfers

AA is currently 27th on Money list ($5K behind the 25th) and will play in Wichita this week... He needs a win or top 3 to get some breathing room.

Arjun Atwal -3 in first round, currently T20 that may fall to T. Its an average safe  start. But Arjun needs to do much better. C'mon Arjun!

Very ordinary round for AA... He will need a much better round tomorrow (at least -6 or -7) to get into contention.

And AA's struggle continues in Nationwide tour... He had an mediocre even par round to finish at -3  :damn: .. currently cut  line is at -4 and there is very little chance that this will drop to -3

At Wichita Open - Second Round
----------- Cut @ -4 -----------
T62 Arjun Atwal 68 71 -3 

Arjun is making tougher calculation for himself to grabbing 2009 PGA tour card through top-25 Nationwide tour finish with these disappointing performances.

He should play a couple of weeks in Asia to get his inspiration back...it has always worked for him in the past.

AA is currently 28th on the money list and time is running out to get that one big performance to guarantee his card.

He is playing XEROX classic this week .. Tee time in the afternoon...

if yday was bad, today was horrible.. Had a 7 over round and finish T58.. very disappointing show from AA.. As every week passes by, it feels like he may not make the cut to PGA TOUR
