Indonesian Masters Golf tournament: Bhullar breaks par

At Jakarta on Thursday, Gaganjeet Bhullar was the only one to break par on an otherwise disappointing day for the Indians in the first round of the Indonesian Masters Golf tournament. Bhullar shot one-under 71 and was placed tied 32nd, five shots off the leader Bangladesh's Siddikur Rehman. Siddikur shot an opening six-under-par 66 to lead on day one, but has world number two Lee Westwood trailing by two. There were six players at tied second with 67 each and the bunch included Thais Thongchai Jaidee and Prayad Marksaeng and Lam Chih Bing. Also at 67 were Filipino Antonio Lascuna and Koreans Park Hyun-bin and Hwang Inn-choon in the 750,000 U.S. dollar showpiece event. Indians failed to make use of ideal scoring conditions at Royale Jakarta Golf Club. Firoz Ali and Sujjan Singh were tied 46th with 72 each, while Digvijay Singh and Vikrant Chopra carded 73 each to be tied 63rd. Of the other Indians, Manav Jaini and Amandeep Johl were tied 76th with 74 each, while Himmat Rai and Anirban Lahiri carded 76 each to be tied 101st. Gaurav Ghei and Jyoti Randhawa were placed at 113th with 77 each and will need good second round cards to stay on for the weekend.
