Chandigarh, Nov. 13 -- Local lad Akshay Sharma returned a two-under 70 to join Manu Gandas in the lead on day two of the inaugural Trident Open, an Rs.1 crore event, being played at the Chandigarh Golf Club. Akshay (69-70) totalled five-under 139 after 36 holes to lead the field along with Manu (66-73). The second round could not be completed on Wednesday as play was suspended due to fading light at 5.40 pm. Seven players out of a total of 123 are yet to finish their second round. They will resume play at 6.50 am on Thursday. Md Somrat Sikdar of Bangladesh, one of seven players with an unfinished second round, was sitting at a total of six-under after 16 holes when play came to a halt on day two. He will be contending for the halfway lead once play resumes on Thursday morning. PGTI ranking leader and another local lad Yuvraj Sandhu, also made a strong comeback on day two after his opening round of 72. He shot a 69 on Wednesday to take his total to three-under 141. As things stand, the cut is likely to fall at one-over 148 at the end of round two. Akshay Sharma, a 35-year-old winner of three professional titles, is searching for his first win on his home course. Akshay began the day on a solid note with tap-in birdies on the second and third holes. Akshay said, "I'm extremely pleased with today's effort because two-under in the current conditions is a good score. The course is not playing easy with the greens playing fast and the pins being tough."...
