Wazir enjoys three-shot cushion

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, MARCH 29. Mohammad Wazir opened a three-stroke lead in the junior category, but his overnight four-stroke advantage in the sub-junior section was cut down to one after the second day of the All India junior and sub-junior golf championships at the Delhi Golf Club course on Wednesday.

In keeping with the trend of poor scores, Wazir carded a three- over 75 but still managed to stay ahead of another local Lakhan Singh, who shot a 76. Aditya Singh, who was in third place at 151, was one among three others who matched Wazir's score for the day. Harinder Gupta and Rajiv Kumar, who carded a 75 each, shared the fourth spot with Sikandar Ali at 152.
