Bangladesh’s ace golfer Siddikur Rahman made an inconsistent start in the Panasonic Open at the Delhi Golf Club in New Delhi as he was jointly sharing the seventh spot with four other golfers after the end of the second round’s play on Friday.
Siddik fired one-under-par 71 in the four-day long US$ 300,000 event, hitting seven birdies on day two but three bogeys ensured he remained afar from Australia’s Wade Ormsby who is at the top of the leaderboard shooting five-under-par 67.
The premier Bangladesh golfer’s position remained the same as defending champion, India’s Digvijay Singh, who also shot one-under-par 71.
Siddik hit seven birdies in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 14th, 16th and 18th holes while he suffered the setback of three bogeys in the 1st, 11th and 12th holes.
The 28-year-old Siddik also suffered the ignominy of a double bogey in the 6th hole which worsened his position and took him further down from the top three, who will get the invitation to play in the Asia-Pacific Panasonic Open, sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour Organisation, in Osaka, Japan in September.
