Deven Bhumij was the highest-placed among the Digboi-based professionals after he returned a round of 73 to be tied for 50th place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Delhi\u2019s Sachin Baisoya, last week\u2019s winner in Jaipur, was one of the five players bunched in tied seventh place at 69. Two of the prominent names participating this week, Angad Cheema and Udayan Mane, struck scores of 72 to be tied for 36th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Amardeep Malik, a two-time winner on the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), mixed six birdies with a bogey during his opening round as he was glad to be back in the mix after a couple of ordinary weeks on tour. He found his groove as far as his hitting was concerned as he struck his tee shots well and landed his approaches within five to 10 feet of the flag on at least three occasions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Malik said, \u201cI had my best ball-striking day today in the last three weeks. This course requires you to be good off the tee and I did that well. I was also lucky with some of my putts rolling in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI was struggling with the timing of my hitting in recent weeks. But I had a few days after missing the cut in Jaipur and utilised that time well by working hard at getting the timing of my strokes back. I\u2019m glad things are falling in place as a result of all that effort that I put in,\" he added. \u201cIt\u2019s great to be back in Digboi for this event. I\u2019ve been coming here to play the IndianOil SERVO Masters for nearly 20 years now. I thank IndianOil for their continued support to PGTI and Indian professionals through the staging of this event,\u201d Malik said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
