Lahiri makes cut with a birdie on last hole of 2nd round in John Deere Classic

India's Anirban Lahiri holed a 15-footer on the ninth, his closing hole in the second round, to somehow make the cut at the John Deere Classic golf tournament here.

Another Indian Arjun Atwal, who was invitee in the event, missed the cut with rounds of 69 and 72.

Also missing the cut was Indian-origin Swedish golfer Daniel Chopra, who shot 70-73.

Jhonattan Vegas, the sixth player in as many rounds on the PGA TOUR to post 62, took a one-stroke lead into the weekend.

Andrew Landry was placed second after posting a 65 in the second round.

Lucas Glover made an albatross on Par-5 10th and shot 64 to get to 11-under and was placed third.

Lahiri, who has been struggling with his scoring this season, hit 8 of 14 fairways and 13 of 18 greens in regulation. His six-under 65 after a first round of three-over 74 got him to three-under 139 and he somehow squeezed in at tied 67th place.

Starting on the 10th, Lahiri began with a birdie from 12 feet but gave that away on 12th by missing a 10-footer ..
