Anura Rohana makes amends to forge ahead

Richard Dwight

This is indeed a rare opportunity for both the competing professional golfers as well as those of the Sri Lankan golfing fraternity to have the RCGC be the venue for this Professional Golf Tour of India. It was interesting to be absorbing to witness the professional golfers from abroad along with a few Sri Lankan golfers pitting their might for golfing supremacy.

The professional conquest began on Tuesday where round one was worked off and continued yesterday where round two was played.

If round one proved miserable for Sri Lankan, Anura Rohana where he was far from being himself, to be out of form and end up low down in position on the leader board. But yesterday playing in round two, Rohana was fully transformed to being his usual self. He drove strongly to cover ground and on the green he putted meticulously to be precise to win the hole and ended up with a score of 10 under par 61 and he is leading the rest. Close behind is the Indians Rashid Khan and Kapil Kumar.

The positions of the first ten professional golfers after round one on Tuesday and round two yesterday.
