Newport: Jyoti Randhawa carded a topsy-turvy one-over 72 to lie tied 59th after the opening
round of the European Tour`s Celtic Manor Open golf tournament here. Randhawa`s card comprised three birdies, a couple of bogeys and a double bogey. On a roller-coaster day, Randhawa stumbled to a bogey on the fourth before picking up a birdie on the next hole to make the turn even-par. On his way back, Randhawa gained a shot on the 11th but a bogey on the 13th, followed by a double-bogey on the 14th ruined his card. But he did manage to sign off positively by striking a birdie on the 18th hole. England`s Chris Wood grabbed the sole lead with a six-under 65 after the opening round. He was followed a stroke behind by the trio of Andrew Dodt, Bradley Dredge and Soren Hansen. PTI
