India's latest winner on the Asian Tour, Viraj Madappa shot 10 shots better than the first round as he carded an impressive six-under 66 to jump to tied seventh spot at the USD 500,000 Yeangder Tournament Players Championship, here Friday.
The drastic improvement in the second round helped Madappa to become the best Indian in the field, drastically moving up to tied seventh spot from overnight tied 80th position.
Madappa, now four shots behind joint leaders, John Catlin and Panuphol Pittyarat, said, "We played in some difficult conditions yesterday and I felt I played a lot better than my four-over. I made a few mistakes yesterday and it got magnified with the conditions.
