Anirban Lahiri went through contrasting emotions on the front and back nines of the demanding Seri Selangor Golf Club here, as he came back with a three-under 68 to lie tied sixth after the second round at the Worldwide Holdings Selangor Masters here today.
Lahiri, starting from the 10th, was on fire on the first nine with six birdies and no bogeys. But on the second nine, he gave away two bogeys and a double bogey on the fifth, which he confessed was the easiest hole on the course. He was three-over for second nine.
At one-over after a first round of 73, Lahiri is still in with a shot at tied sixth place, but is seven shots behind Pariya Junhasavasdikul (66-68).
Abhinav Lohan, who played an even par 71 on first day, was again par in second round and is now tied 10th.
Two other Indians, Abhijit Chadha (74-73) and C Muniyappa (73-74) also made the cut, while Himmat Rai (77-71), Sujjan Singh (75-74), Shankar Das (78-71) and Ajeetesh Sandhu (84-72) missed the cut.
"There is only so much you can blame the course. It was the same course where I was playing my front nine and I was playing awesome (he shot 29)," Lahiri said.
"I made a few stupid mistakes, especially the par five fifth hole. That's the easiest hole on the course and to make seven there is like losing two and a half shots on the field. I hit that left, chipped it out into a bad spot and didn't really recover very well," he said.
