Siddikur tightened his grip at the Hero Indian Open with a second
round six-under-par 66 on Friday to put himself in position to end a
title jinx at the Delhi Golf Club.
The Bangladeshi opened with an eagle and holed a 20-footer birdie
putt on the last for a 12-under-par 132 total, two shots ahead of
Chapchai Nirat of Thailand, who posted a 68 at the US$1.25 million Asian
Tour event.
Rahil Gangjee led the India charge on 69, three shots back from the
leader while Adam Groom of Australia was a further shot back in fourth
on 136 at the venerable Delhi Golf Club.
Multiple Asian Tour winners Angelo Que of the Philippines and S.S.P.
Chowrasia of India tied fifth alongside Das Shankar of India after
shooting 68, 68 and 70 respectively.
Siddikur, the first Bangladeshi to play and win on the Asian Tour in
2010, took advantage of his straight hitting game and a hot putter,
making 27 putts at the venerable Delhi Golf Club.
“I played aggressively again and I’m really enjoying this new style
of play. I didn’t do anything exceptional in my game but I’m just
enjoying the way I’m playing now. My game was excellent thanks largely
to my short game,” smiled Siddikur.
