India’s S Chikkarangappa grabbed a share of the eighth position after carding 71 and 66 on a day when he had to play 30 holes at the weather-hit SMBC Singapore Open on Friday.

Chikka had seven birdies against two bogeys in his five-under 66 and he is now five-under for the tournament. Play finished early and some time was also lost due to weather. It will now resume at 7.30am where 76 players will return to their positions on Saturday.

 

 

The third round is not scheduled to start before 12pm.

 

Among other Indians in fray, Arjun Atwal (67-73) is Tied-36th. Shiv Kapur, even par on first day, was one-over through seven in second, while Rahil Gangjee was two-over for 30 holes after carding 76 on first day and being three-under through 12 holes in second.

 

 

Leaderboard

 

 

After a 70 in the first round, Ajeetesh Sandhu was struggling at four-over in second through just six holes with two double bogeys.

 

 

Khalin Joshi was even through six after his first round 76 while Viraj Madappa had played his two rounds in 77 and 73. Jeev Milkha Singh retired after the first round.

 

 

Poom Saksansin showed he is the man for the big occasion again when he completed an exhausting day with a second-round one-under-par 70 to share the clubhouse lead with England’s Paul Casey.

 

 

Chikka said, “I played 30 holes today. I am starting to feel the fatigue now! I didn’t really feel it during the round. I was hitting the ball good and I putted well. The weather was good too compared to yesterday. I was really enjoying myself out there.” A top 10 place after day two has also fuelled his hopes.
