MACAU, APRIL 16: Vivek Bhandari and Amandeep Johl continued their good form with another two-under par 69 and make the cut with ace golfer Jeev Milkha Singh even as the other four Indians missed the mark on the second day of the Macau Open Golf Tournament here today.

Bhandari and Johl, joint 10th position at 69 overnight, fired identical 69s again to join Andrew Pitts (67+71) of the US at the sixth position with a two round aggregate of four-under 138, four strokes adrift of the pace at the Macau Golf and Country Club here.

Jeev, who was 64th after a card of 73 yesterday, jumped to joint 28th with a two-under 69. The 27-year-old Indian, who finished among top five in the first two events of his second European PGA season, was clubbed together with four others at a two-round total of 142.

But the rest of the Indians missed the cut which was applied at three over par 145.

Arjun Atwal (75+72) was placed 77th, Ali Sher (74+76) was sharing 100th place with four others, Gaurav Ghei (73+78) was 107th andAmritinder Singh (77+75) was six places behind.

Also facing a slump was Lee Westwood of England, who could not keep up with the sizzling pace set by Taiwan’s Chang Tse-Peng, who fired a six-under 65 to take lead at eight-under 138 and also improved upon the course record set by Westwood and South Korea’s King Wook-Soon yesterday.

Westwood and Wook-Soon shot two-under 69s to share the second spot at seven-under 135.

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said the designation gives law enforcement “enhanced powers to combat a group that has instilled fear through violence and intimidation”.
