Gangjee makes the cut, Johl misses the bus

Seoul: Rahil Gangjee returned his second successive one-under 70 card to make the cut while compatriot Amandeep Johl had a nightmarish outing and his four-over 75 saw him miss the cut in Kolon-Hana Bank Korea Open here on Friday.

At the halfway mark, Gangjee is two-under 140 and 10 shots off the leader, Korea's Kang Ji-man.

Jeev climbs up

Jeev Milkha Singh put behind the disappointment of a poor opening round and carded a flawless three-under 68 to jump to the tied 24th spot after the second round of the Acom International.

The seasoned Indian pro, who started at the tied 59th position after a one-over 72 in the first round, sank three birdies to improve his standing on the leaderboard.

Mamo Osanai, with eight birdies in his bogey-free eight-under 63, led the pack with a 14-under 128.

Terrible day for Atwal

At Houston, Arjun Atwal dropped four shots over five holes in an erratic front nine and was tied 82nd after an opening round of one-over 71 in the Texas Open.

Germany's Alex Cejka and Briton Justin Rose shared the lead with a six-under 64. — Agencies
