Bishwam Ghosh on course for a double at Tata Steel Beldih Juniors 2015

On a tough day for scoring, city mate Tanishq Julka is placed second followed by local lad Arshad Ali in third a further four strokes behind at fifteen-over 87.

Bishwam started in a steady fashion with five consecutive pars before dropping strokes on the sixth and eighth holes. A deadly double bogey 6 on the 11th hole left him four-over for the day and he couldn’t shake it off as he made four consecutive bogeys from the 14th to the 17th holes. However that was enough for a  lead of three strokes overnight.

Category C was led by Kolkata’s Aroush Tagore and local lad Biren Kumar at a score of 93 as both had identical front and back nines. Two strokes behind is Kaushal Bagrodia followed by Arav Sanghavi and Rayyan Habib at 96. Homegrown Vidyul maittani leads Ishika Bhowmick by ten strokes in the Category C Girl’s event.
