Colombo,
Sri Lanka, April 17, 2013: After a steady even-par opening round on
Tuesday, local Sri Lankan star Anura Rohana came roaring back in the second
round of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority Open 2013 with a bogey-free 10-under-61.
Anura thus matched his own course record. After starting from hole no. 1, Anura
collected four birdies and an eagle on the seventh before making the turn. He
added four more birdies on the back nine to take his tournament total to 10-under-132.
Ӊt was great to have a bogey-free round today. A round of
61 is obviously a fantastic score and I⭠very happy with the round. My putting
was excellent today as I had 24 putts in all. Luckily, I managed to keep the
ball on the fairways on most occasions. Looking further, I hope I can use my
local knowledge to good advantage in the final two rounds,䠳aid Anura, who
birdied the first, sixth, eighth, ninth, 10th, 13th, 17th and 18th and made
eagle on the seventh.
Two shots behind the leader at eight-under, are Chikkarangappa S of
Bangalore and Md Zamal Hossain Mollah of Bangladesh in tied second place.
Chikkarangappa (68-66) shot a five-under-66 on Wednesday to take his total to
eight-under for two rounds. Chikkarangappa had seven birdies against two bogeys.༯span>
