India&aposs Jyoti Randhawa joined Australia&aposs Tony Carolan at the top of the leaderboard with a four-under-par second round 68 on day two of the inaugural SAIL Open at Jaypee Greens. Randhawa carded five birdies and one bogey to go to nine-under-par alongside overnight leader Carolan, who added a 69 to his opening round of 66. Chinese Taipei&aposs Wang ter-Chang is one shot adrift on eight under, while Scotland&aposs Ross Bain, who led alongside Carolan after the opening round, is on seven under after a second round 71. Australia&aposs Scott Hend and Fiji&aposs Dinesh Chand are level with Bain after rounds of 70, while India&aposs Danish Kumar is also on seven under and seven others are on six under. Seven-time Asian Tour winner Randhawa, who opened with a 67 on Wednesday, reached the turn at level par after a birdie at the par-five fourth was followed by a dropped shot on the fifth. But the 35-year-old began the back nine in blistering fashion with three successive birdies on the 10th, 11th and 12th. A further birdie on the par-five 15th put him into a share of the lead going into the last two rounds. “It was a cold start in the morning,” said Randhawa, who finished equal seventh at the Indonesian Open in Jakarta last week. “There was frost in the morning and I got warmed really on the back nine.” “It was kind of average, but the score was quite good at 68. There are times when you play well and still come back with a 70. This time I played just average but the score was fine.” Carolan had one blemish on his scorecard, with a bogey at the par-four 11th, but added four birdies. “It wasn&apost a great day but still it is nice to be on the top,” he said. “I was happy with my driving, but I had a lot of problems with my seven iron.” After an impressive first round 67, Adam Groom was alongside Carolan at the top of the leaderboard going into Friday. However, the Australian could only manage a one-under 71 in his second round as he finished the day on six-under overall, alongside New Zealand&aposs Mark Brown, who has posted two consecutive scores of 69. Australian Peter Cooke also started the day in a share of the lead, but could only manage an even-par 72 to be at five-under overall alongside compatriot Neven Basic (69). Aussies Kane Webber (70) and Richard Moir (68) are a further stroke back on four-under overall, while jason King produced an impressive 67 to recover from a first-up 74 to finish the day on three under, alongside New Zealander Richard Lee (71). Australians Gavin Flint (71) and Adam Blyth (71) are at two-under, alongside New Zealand&aposs Kevin Chun (68), while Aussies Henry Epstein (one-under overall, 71) and David Bransdon (one-over, 75) are further back in the field but just made the cut.
