Jamshedpur, Jan. 31 -- Italy's Michele Ortolani shot a six-under 65 to seize the first-round lead at Pre-Qualifying II of the TATA Steel
PGTI Qualifying School 2024 being played at the Golmuri Golf Course here.
Twenty-seven-year-old Michele Ortolani, on his first trip to India,
was not at his best at the start of his round as he was recovering
from a bout of food poisoning. The Milan-based golfer, a regular on
the Asian Development Tour (ADT) till last year, thus made a slow
start with a birdie and a bogey on his first six holes.
Michele then hit top gear with some fabulous ball-striking as he
picked up eagle-birdie-eagle on the 16th, 17th and 18th. He finally
added two more birdies and a bogey on the front-nine.
