Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: Bangladesh’s Siddikur Rehman overcame a shaky start to fire six-under 66 to share the lead with overnight leader Suradit Yongcharoenchai from Thailand, who returned with a bogey-free 67, on 11-under 133 total on Day Two of the Panasonic Open India golf tournament on Friday. Chandigarh boy Ajeetesh Sandhu carded a matching score as Day 1 — five-under 67 — to take the third spot ahead of Jazz Janewattananond of Thailand, who also carded a 67 at the venerable Delhi Golf Club. Rehman struck two successive eagles after his ball went to bushes in front nine but soon regained his form to card three birdies to end first turn at 35. Veteran Jeev Milkha Singh, who has made just two cuts in 15 starts this year and has just one Top-5 finish since his win in the 2012 Scottish Open, was T-6th with M. Dharma and four others.
