Atwal misses the cut

Miami: Arjun Atwal will have to go back to the qualifying school for his full playing privileges after crashing out at the midway stage of the Chrysler golf championship.

Atwal, who had a roller coaster of a round with one eagle, three double bogeys, four bogeys and four birdies, carded a four-over 75 and missed the cut by a long margin.

Daniel Chopra shot a one-over 72 and dropped to 11th spotKorea's Choi Kyung-ju grabbed the half way lead after firing a superb five-under-par 66.

At Valderrama (Spain), Jeev Milkha Singh of India moved into tied ninth spot at the Volvo Masters with a round of 71 that gave him a total of even par 142 at the midway stage of the elite European event.

Lying 19th overnight, Jeev had two birdies on the front nine, but lost the advantage with two bogeys on the back nine.

Jeev had birdies on the first and eighth but dropped shots on 12th and 13th. He was let down by indifferent putting as he needed 31 putts in comparison to the 25 he had in the first round.

Padraig Harrington shares the ninth spot along with Jeev with 69. — PTI
