LUCKNOW, Sept. 11 -- Umed Kumar from Chandimandir established a three-shot lead at a total of five-under 135 after he fired a two-under 68 in round two of the PGTI NEXGEN event being played at the Lucknow Golf Club here on Wednesday. Sanjeev Kumar of Lucknow, playing at his home course, carded an even-par 70 to be placed second at two-under 138. The Lucknow Golf Club is a par-70 nine-hole course where the nine holes are played twice to comprise a round. On a number of holes, there are different tees used and there are different hole locations for the front-nine and back-nine. The cut fell at 10-over 150. Thirty-seven professionals made the cut. Umed (67-68), the overnight leader by one shot, extended his lead on Wednesday despite a slow start. The 24-year-old Umed, a winner on the PGTI NEXGEN this season, dropped a double-bogey after a couple of inaccurate shots on the par-5 third hole. Thereafter, Umed made a brave comeback with some brilliant putting as he sank a couple of eight-footers and a 10-footer to pick up three birdies between the sixth and 11th holes. A great drive on the 16th secured Umed another birdie. He finally ended the day with a terrific par save on the 18th where he recovered well after finding the trees with his tee shot. "My putting was the highlight of my round today. It helped me pull back things after I had an early setback with that double-bogey." said Umed....
