Arjun Prasad, currently ranked second in the 2025 PGTI Order of Merit and chasing his maiden title, began the day with a bogey on the first. Arjun then added two birdies and another bogey on the front-nine to make the turn at level-par. Thereafter, Prasad had a much better back-nine where he collected two birdies thanks to a couple of 15-feet conversions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arjun said, \u201cI kept the ball in play for most part of the day. Initially, I missed a few greens but then I kept creating chances for myself. I also made a few good par-saves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
