Sandhu said: "The round was okay today. I started off pretty well. I was three-under through the first nine. The tough part was on the back nine. I didn't hit it good on the back-nine good but managed to finish one-under. I could've done a lot better but that's okay.

"I thought it was a lot easier yesterday. Today, especially at the back- nine, the fairways were really tight. It was really tough to score on the back nine. Front nine was easier though and the course is in good shape." MORE
