The 24-year-old Hoshi Rakesh Yadav, making his third attempt at the PGTI Q School, posted an error-free round that featured an eagle and four birdies. Yadav began the day with a 10-foot birdie conversion on the first and followed that up with a great recovery from the rough and a 12-foot eagle conversion on the ninth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yadav, who originally hails from Gurugram and has played college golf in the United States, added three more birdies to his card on the back-nine thanks to his outstanding wedge shots on the par-3s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yadav said, \u201cEven though I didn\u2019t make the grade at the PGTI Q School in my previous two attempts over the last two years, the experience of having played at Golmuri earlier helped me a lot in planning my round today. My ball-striking was good and beginning the day with a birdie really got me going. The eagle on the ninth gave me a further boost and helped me finish well.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Md Razu produced seven birdies and a bogey to tie Yadav for the joint lead. Amateurs Vishesh Sharma and Neil Jolly were tied for third having carded scores of five-under 66.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
