Vishesh Sharma and Amardeep Malik sit atop the standings at 14-under 126 after the second round of the Telangana Golconda Masters here at the Hyderabad Golf Association on Wednesday.
Local favourite Vishesh (60-66), who matched the course record with an opening 10-under 60, followed it with a four-under 66 containing six birdies and two bogeys.
“The course played very differently compared with yesterday,” Vishesh said. “The fairways were much softer, the wind was considerably stronger, and the flags were tucked into more difficult areas. I had to adjust my strategy, aim for the correct sections of the greens and avoid chasing every flag,” the 19-year-old remarked.
Amardeep (61-65) made six birdies against a solitary bogey on the par-five 17th for a five-under 65. He later admitted that his opening score tempted him into playing more aggressively than the course demanded.
