Chawrasia, who skipped a couple of events in Asia is looking to add a win on European soil. The only Indian to have won in Europe is Jeev Milkha Singh.
Chawrasia birdied the first, seventh and 11th and then eagled the par-5 13th and played the rest in par.
Chawrasia is nine shots behind Tyrell Hatton, who has carded 63-65 to open up a three-shot lead on day two.
Hatton, who will defend his Alfred Dunhill Links Championship title next week, has made just three of his last 10 cuts.
Tournament host Westwood is the Tour professional at Close House and used his local knowledge to great effect as he stayed bogey-free over the first 36 holes.
