Sharma cards bogey free 64 to jump to 11that Turkish Airlines Open

India's Shubhankar Sharma fired a flawless eight-under 64 in the second round to rise to Tied-11 at the halfway stage of the Turkish Airlines Open golf tournament here on Friday.

The 23-year-old Indian, who was T-37 overnight, holed eight birdies without dropping a bogey to bring home the day's second best card.

"The best part was that it was a bogey free round," said an elated Sharma, who is nine-under for 36 holes.

"I drove much better than the first round and my iron play was on the spot. I found all fairways barring two, one of which was barely an inch off.

"I seem to have a birdie chance on most holes and the longest putt was just over 10 feet, maybe about 12. So I played my approaches also well."

Comparing his first two rounds, Sharma said, "I was proud of the first one for the way I fought back and today I made almost no errors.

"I did miss a two and a half foot putt and on my last hole, the ninth, I had a makeable eight-footer, which I stroked well, but it did not fall."
