Ankur Chadha (35-33) of Gurugram and Lucknow’s Sanjeev Kumar (35-33) shared the honours on day two of the Glade One Masters 2022 as the duo led the field at a total of four-under 68. Both Ankur and Sanjeev, lying overnight tied ninth, came up with the day’s lowest score of three-under 33 at the Glade One Resort and Club to lead by one shot over Noida’s Amardeep Malik (35-34) and Aditya Raj Kumar Chauhan (33-36) of Delhi, who were both tied third.
The first two rounds of the event comprised nine holes each. After the completion of 18 holes, the cut was applied at three-over 75. Fifty-three professionals made the cut. The third and fourth rounds will now comprise 18 holes each. The tournament will be played over a total of 54 holes. The par for the course in the first two rounds was 36.
Ankur Chadha, fresh from his best season on the PGTI last year when he finished inside the top-30 of the Order of Merit, has carried forward the momentum this week. The 27-year-old Chadha’s second round featured a 12-feet birdie conversion on the first hole, another birdie on the fifth, a great par save from the hazard on the sixth, and a 20-feet birdie conversion on the closing ninth hole. Ankur said, “It’s been a solid first two days for me except for just one unforced error in round one. I’ve been nursing a wrist injury so this is my first event of the season and it’s good to begin the year on a positive note.”
