George Kneiser from the United States and Japan’s Kazuki Higa were the main movers on Friday morning when the first round was completed at the International Series India presented by DLF.
The duo, who were among the 42 players unable to finish on Thursday, fired three-under-par 69s to finish one behind the leader, Spain’s Eugenio Chacarra.
Chacarra shot 68 yesterday here at DLF Golf and Country Club, when thick fog delayed the start and led to the backlog.
Spaniard Santiago De la Fuente, Chase Koepka from the United States and Frenchman Joel Stalter signed for 70s this morning to join Chile’s Joaquin Niemann, Filipino Justin Quiban and Danthai Boonma from Thailand in a tie for fourth.
American Bryson DeChambeau, making his first trip to India, completed the final two holes of his first round today. He finished with a bogey and a par and is in a group of five players on one under.
More fog caused a two hour delay this morning meaning only the first session of round two is likely to finish today.
The US$2million inaugural event is the second stop of the season on the Asian Tour and opening leg of The International Series.
The International Series is the most prized pathway in golf. It consists of 10 elite tournaments sanctioned by the Asian Tour and offers the year-long Rankings leader promotion to the LIV Golf League
