The 74 golfers who did not finish their second round will return on Saturday at 6.15am to complete their rounds on Saturday.
Chiragh Kumar, who defends his only Asian Tour title at the Panasonic Open India in two weeks time, was the top Indian amongst those had completed two rounds. He shot 68-72 to be Tied-22nd.
Jyoti Randhawa (73-70) was Tied-65th, while Himmat Rai and Shubhankar Sharma at two-under and one-under were yet to complete second rounds. Sujjan Singh (74-76) will make an early exit as he will miss the cut.
Veerman made 25 putts in a round of four birdies and one eagle which was his third for the week. After spending most of his youth in Asia, Veerman, who is now based in Texas, hopes to continue his impressive form during the weekend where his mother and relatives will come to support him.
