Jeev finds his rhythm

Before the tournament started, I thought that the Xerox Open was blessed to have all the top stars in the participant8217;s list. Now, as the event enters its third day, I must say that God has been very kind on us enthusiasts as there is a huge four-way tussle developing on top of the leaderboard.

Jyoti Randhawa was in ominous form for the second day running and he shot his second successive four-under 68 to lead the field at eight-under. But he cannot rest easy for the next two days as Arjun Atwal, Gaurav Ghei and Indrajit Bhalotia are almost breathing down on his neck. Let me begin with Bhalotia. He is one of the nicest guys you can come across on the golf circuit. After winning the 1998 Crompton Greaves Matchplay, I thought he would break through. But the consistency was missing.
