Jyoti Randhawa braved nasty weather to play a solid round of three-under 69 and be tied 23rd while leading all three Indians who made the cut in at the weekend rounds of the BMW International Open golf tournament.After the second round, which was delayed by two hours due to storm, Randhawa stood at an aggregate of five-under 139, while Jeev Milkha Singh (72) was three-under 141 and in tied 40th place down from overnight 21st.Shiv Kapur (72), lying on the borderline, was tied 52nd, up from 61st. Randhawa opened on the 10th with back-to-back birdies and after a bogey on 14th, he added a third birdie on 18th to turn in two-under.On the second stretch, he birdied the fourth and seventh, but a late bogey on eighth saw him finish at 69. But for that bogey he would have been tied 10th in a tight leaderboard.One of the key highlights of Randhawa’s play on the second day was greater accuracy off the tee as he found eight of the 14 fairways and 15 greens in regulation. But for his putts, where he needed 31, it was a fine day. If only the putts had fallen, which were well struck, it could have a far better score and position for Randhawa, who is still looking for his maiden win on European Tour.Atwal makes cutCromwell: Arjun Atwal shot a one-over 71 and safely ensured passage into the weekend round at the Travelers Golf Championship in stormy weather conditions, which forced a short suspension of play in the afternoon, here today.Atwal, who had a 68 in first round, is now tied 34th at one-under 139, seven shots behind the leaders. He had three birdies, including back-to-back efforts on fifth and sixth and four bogeys including one late on seventh as he finished on ninth after starting on the 10th in gusty wind and rain at the TPC River Highlands Course in Connecticut. This year after making the cut in his first appearance at the AT & T Pebble Beach National pro-Am in February, he missed the next five cuts.
