Gangjee makes cut, moves up at Nationwide golf

Springfield: A bogey-free four-under 68 saw Rahil Gangjee make a smart move upwards in the leaderboard after second round of the Price Cutter Charity Golf Championships at Highland Springs Country Club.

After the turn, he birdied the first, fourth and seventh and stayed error-free for a fine 68. His second day`s exploits took him to six-under 138 for a tied 41st place, up from tied 55th with some accurate driving and good putting, in a low-scoring event. Daniel Chopra exited from the tournament with a 74 as he went to five-over 149 and the cut came at five-under 139.
