Kapur, Park share lead

Published March 1, 2008

GURGAON (India), Feb 29: India’s Shiv Kapur and Australia’s Unho Park share a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Johnnie Walker Classic.

Kapur shot a seven-under 65, including five birdies and an eagle three on the sixth hole while Korean-born Park carded 66 to sit on 10-under 134.

India’s Jyoti Randhawa and Japan’s Taichiro Kiyota shot bogey-free rounds of 65 and 67 to be tied second at the DLF Golf and Country Club.

Australian world No 5 Adam Scott was a further stroke adrift at tied fifth after he shot 68 for the second successive day to be in a fine position to launch his title assault.

Briton Philip Archer missed the course record by one shot after producing a superb eight-under 64 to join fellow Briton Graeme Storm (66), Spain’s Jose Manuel Lara (67) and Scott on eight-under 136.

Fiji’s three-time major winner Vijay Singh shot four-under 68 to sit four shots off the lead.—Reuters
