Pierre Pineau and Alexander Levy do not leave each other at the Kolkata Challenge. After a -2 card on Thursday with each a bogey and 3 birdies, the second round of competition followed the same pattern. The two Frenchmen made 5 birdies and 2 bogeys and ended the day at -3 for a total of -5. A score which allows them to rank 12th, one stroke from the top 10 and 6 strokes from the lead. Just behind, we find Benjamin Hebert at -4 (17th) followed by Julien Sale and Andoni Etchenique at -2.
The 7 other French people do not make the cut. Robin Sciot-Siegrist finished at +1 despite his -4 in the first round, notably due to a double bogey on 10. Martin Couvra also finished at +1. Romain Wattel follows at +2. Félix Mory, Maxence Giboudot and Clément Guichard finished the competition at +4. Finally, Robin Roussel, with his +6, closes the French list.
Neergaard-Petersen first at -11
Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen leads the tournament after two rounds with a score of -11. The Dane will enter the moving day with two shots ahead of the Scotsman Daniel Young, only second at -9 thanks to a score of 66 (-6). We find Veer Ahlawat at -7. The Indian, leader at home after the first round, has still not made a bogey over the last 36 holes and made 2 birdies this Friday. He is accompanied by Wil Besseling.
