Honey Baisoya of Delhi fired a two-under-68 to stay one shot ahead of Angad Cheema after the second round of the PGTI Feeder Tour event at the Rambagh Golf Club here today.
Baisoya now has a total of six-under-134.
The cut was declared at six-over-146. Thirty-eight professionals made the cut.
Baisoya (66-68), the overnight joint leader, started from the 10th and bagged his first birdie of the day with a magnificent chip-in on the 12th.
He then dropped bogeys on the 13th and 14th. He came roaring back on the par-5 17th where he found the green in two. Baisoya's eagle putt lipped out on the 17th but he still salvaged a birdie there.
The young rookie picked up shots on the 18th and first as well to make it three birdies in a row. He sank a 15-footer on the first. A bogey on the fourth and a birdie from seven feet on the seventh meant Baisoya ended his day with a score of 68.
Cheema (69-66) is placed second at five-under-135. He posted the joint best score of the day. His four-under-66 on Wednesday included two eagles, three birdies and three bogeys. He chipped-in for eagle from 30 yards on the seventh.
Balwinder Singh Mattu's 66 was the day's best score along with Angad Cheema's round. The Jalandhar-based Mattu currently shares third position with Richard Stephen Hilton of Dehradun at three-under-137.
Vishal Singh is the highest-placed among the professionals from Jaipur. Vishal is in tied 10th with a total score of even-par-140 at the end of round two.
