Digboi Golf: <\/strong>Reigning champion Yuvraj Singh Sandhu of Chandigarh maintained his one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the SERVO Masters 2022 after he returned a determined two-under 70 at the Digboi Golf Links on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Greater Noida's Arjun Sharma struck a 68 in round two to be placed second at the Rs. 75 lakh prize money event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sri Lankan Anura Rohana (71) occupied the third place at nine-under 135 while Mysuru's Aalaap I L (68) was in fourth place at eight-under 136.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The halfway cut was applied at one over 145 with 58 professionals making it to the next two rounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The PGTI Order of Merit leader Yuvraj Singh Sandhu (63-70), a 10th tee starter on Thursday, made yet another promising start with an early birdie on the 12th but then stumbled with a bogey on the 13th where he found the hazard and a double-bogey on the 14th where his ball was plugged in the bunker behind a tree.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sandhu, a four-time winner on the PGTI this year, finally bounced back with a birdie on the 15th and a solid front-nine where he made an 18-footer for eagle on the seventh and another birdie on the ninth after recovering from the bunker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sandhu said, "When I started off today the body was a little colder so I was struggling with my ball striking. Importantly, I hung in there today. I'll now try to get plenty of rest after today's round in order to recover fully for the last two rounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"The eagle putt on the seventh was a saviour and the finishing birdie on the ninth was also a confidence booster.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I do feel comfortable at this course based on my experience from last year. It's easy to find trouble here but one should know which side to miss the green," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Arjun Sharma (66-68), a runner-up on the PGTI this year, had a terrific back-nine where he sank an eagle and three birdies to stake claim for the lead. Sharma drove the par-4 14th green to set up an eagle-two as he drained a 15-footer there. He also set up tap-in birdies on the 13th and 17th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sharma's putter then went cold on the front nine as he missed a few putts and as a result dropped a bogey on the first and couldn't convert some birdie opportunities on other holes. Sharma also bogeyed the seventh where his drive landed in the hazard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sharma said, "I've played the tougher back-nine better on both days. I feel the front-nine is relatively easier but I haven't been able to capitalize on it so far, something I need to do over the next two days."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Among the prominent names, Udayan Mane and Manu Gandas were tied 11th at five-under 139 while Khalin Joshi was tied 25th at three-under 141.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Among the local professionals, Dulal Kalowar was the only player to make the cut as he totaled one-over 145 to be tied 49th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
