Abhijit's 65 takes him to 2nd spot at Classic Golf & Country Club International C'ship

India's Abhijit Singh Chadha fired a sizzling seven-under 65 on day two to grab the second spot at the inaugural Classic Golf & Country Club International Championship here on Friday.

Returning to his favourite venue, the Classic Golf & Country Club, Abhijit produced an error-free round that featured seven birdies to take his total to 11-under-133 and climb six spots in the USD 300,000 event, which is co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the TATA Steel PGTI.

The 28-year-old Abhijit, who fought his way back on to the Asian Tour after a three-year gap with a solid performance at the Qualifying School earlier this year, trails the halfway leader Rory Hie of Indonesia by one shot.

The Indian duo of Rashid Khan (66), yet to drop a stroke in the tournament, and Aman Raj (67), who fired a second successive five-under, were in tied third with total scores of 10-under-134.

Two-time Asian Tour winner Rashid made a gain of five spots on Friday while Aman moved up two spots.
