New Delhi, Oct 06: Atwal, currently leading the Asian PGA tour money list, had a terrible start with bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes, but pulled things back with a hat-trick of birdies on the 12th, 13th, 14th holes.
New Delhi, Oct 06: Atwal, currently leading the Asian PGA tour money list, had a terrible start with bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes, but pulled things back with a hat-trick of birdies on the 12th, 13th, 14th holes.
Another birdie on the 18th offset a bogey on the 15th and he made the turn at one-under. On his back nine, a bogey on the fourth and a double on the par-4 fifth undid all the good work as he finished on two-over 72. Atwal hit eight fairways and 11 greens in regulation, but 30 putts ensured he finished over-par for the day.
Randhawa, who started with a 69, made a four-over 74 with only six birdies, four of which came on the back nine. For the second successive day, Randhawa struggled with his overall game, hitting just five fairways and nine greens in regulation. He made 31 putts.
Woods, seeking his fifth PGA tour victory of the season and the defending champion, started well and three birdies in the first seven holes helped him reach 10-under-par before a pair of bogeys slowed down his charge.
At the par-four eighth, Woods three-putted for the first time in the tournament to drop a shot and then made a bogey on the par-four 11th and a double bogey from the Greenside Bunker on the 16th. In between, he made birdies on the 12th and 13th holes.
