Milind, in terrific form with the putter, then sank four birdies from a range of 15 to 20 feet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thereafter, Soni made more gains with his exceptional approach shots that set up birdies on the fourth and seventh. Milind finally capped off his flawless round with another long conversion on the eighth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Soni, who has been India\u2019s No. 1 Junior and No. 2 Amateur in the past, said, \u201cWith narrow fairways and thick rough here at the EPGC, there was a premium on hitting greens in regulation and I made 16 regulations today. My putter was hot and I hardly missed any putts.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thereafter, Soni made more gains with his exceptional approach shots that set up birdies on the fourth and seventh.
