Honey Baisoya
Jaipur, May 29, 2013: Honey Baisoya of Delhi fired a
two-under-68 to stay in the lead in round two of the PGTI Feeder Tour event
being played at the Rambagh Golf Club in Jaipur. Baisoya now has a total of
six-under-134. Angad Cheema of Panchkula is one stroke behind the leader in
second place.
The cut was declared at six-over-146. Thirty-eight
professionals made the cut for the third and final round scheduled to be played
on Thursday, May 30.
Honey Baisoya (66-68), the overnight joint leader, started
from the 10th and bagged his first birdie of the day with a magnificent
chip-in on the 12th. Honey then dropped bogeys on the 13th and 14th. He
came roaring back on the par-5 17th where he found the green in two. Baisoya’s
eagle putt lipped out on the 17th but he still salvaged a birdie there.
The young rookie picked up shots on the 18th and first
as well to make it three birdies in a row. He sank a 15-footer on the first. A
bogey on the fourth and a birdie from seven feet on the seventh meant Baisoya
ended his day with a score of 68.
Baisoya said, “I’ve been consistent on the first two days
and earned the reward for it. I had a better finish today as compared to
yesterday as I made good pars on the last two holes. I hit it well today to set
up some birdie opportunities. My chipping was great today and I sank a few
crucial putts. I’ll look to keep the intensity going in the final round.”
Angad Cheema (69-66) is placed second at five-under-135.
Cheema, also a rookie on the PGTI like Baisoya, posted the joint best score of
the day. His four-under-66 on Wednesday included two eagles, three birdies and
three bogeys. He chipped-in for eagle from 30 yards on the seventh.
Balwinder Singh Mattu’s 66 was the day’s best score along
with Angad Cheema’s round. The Jalandhar-based Mattu currently shares third
position with Richard Stephen Hilton of Dehradun at three-under-137.
Vishal Singh is currently the highest-placed among the
professionals from Jaipur. Vishal is in tied 10th with a total score of
even-par-140 at the end of round two.
Akshay Sharma of Chandigarh
was the other golfer besides Angad Cheema who made two eagles in the second
round. Akshay ended the day with successive eagles on the 17th and
18th after making two birdies, five bogeys and a double-bogey earlier in
his round. His score of one-over-71 on Wednesday placed him in tied
17th at two-over-142.
