At the AM Green IGPL Bharath Classic, Chandigarh golfer Karandeep Kochhar remains a strong contender for his first Asian Tour title, currently tied for fifth place at 5-under-par following a second-round score of 1-over 73. Kochhar, who has previously finished as runner-up twice on the Asian Tour, has had two top-five finishes this season. He shares fifth place with Indian teenager Kartik Singh, who improved his position with a steady second round of 69 after starting with a 70. The tournament is led by Thailand’s Settee Prakongvech and Runchanapong Youprayong, both at 9-under-par, with Prakongvech delivering an impressive bogey-free round of 65 despite challenging windy conditions. Kochhar experienced a frustrating end to his round with a three-putt bogey but remains optimistic about his overall game, particularly his putting skills. Among other Indian competitors, amateur Jai Bahl and Yashas Chandra are at 1-under-par, while Shaurya Bhattacharya and Raghav Chugh are at level par. Veteran golfers Gaganjeet Bhullar, Pukhraj Singh Gill, and Rashid Khan are tied for 49th place as they head into the weekend rounds.
