From a total field of 129 in Pre-Qualifying III, the top 28 players advanced to the Final Qualifying Stage as the cut was declared at two-under 140.<p>Vishesh Sharma (66, 63), whose second round of 63 was the lowest score of the Pre-Qualifying Stage, moved up two spots from his overnight tied third place on Saturday. Vishesh, a former India No. 1 in the junior category, began the day one shot off the lead and came out on top following his two eagles, six birdies, and two bogeys in round two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Vishesh, making his first appearance at the PGTI Q School, drove the par-4 fourth green and sank a 20-footer for his first eagle of the day. He then chipped in on the ninth hole for his second eagle. A great bunker shot saw him tap in for birdie on the second.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMy putting and course management were the highlight of my round. I did well to bounce back after the bogeys today. I\u2019m excited to have made such a good start in my first appearance at the Q School. It shows me what I\u2019m capable of. If I do manage to earn a full card in the Final Stage, I will consider turning professional. Having played at Golmuri on many occasions in the past also helped my cause as I was quite familiar with the course,\u201d Vishesh said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 15-year-old amateur Neil Jolly of Chandigarh and amateur Tushar Pannu of Karnal finished tied second with totals of 11-under 131.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMy putting and course management were the highlight of my round.
