Atwal makes the cut

NEW DELHI, JAN. 17. Star golfer Arjun Atwal strung together a well-compiled two-under 68 to make the cut at the Sony Open in Hawai, his first outing on the prestigious US PGA Tour.

Atwal, who became the first ever Indian to qualify for the biggest stage in world golf, rests on the bubble with a two-day tally of one-under 139, the very score on which the cut was applied, according to information received here.

Daniel Chopra, the India-born Swede, also into his first season on the PGA Tour, slipped out of contention despite tying for the ninth position in his opening round.

eanwhile, Australian Steve Allen fired a superb eight under 62 to assume a one-stroke lead at 11-under 129. American, Harrison Frazer was placed second at 130, with South Africa's Ernie Els occupying the third place at 131.
