Korean youngster Baek Seuk-hyun and England's Simon Griffiths, each seeking to win their maiden Asian Tour title, shared the halfway lead in the 1.25-million-dollar Hero Honda Indian Open Friday.
I'm happy," said Baek, who turned professional only two years ago.
On the advice of his caddie, Baek has left his driver in his hotel room to negotiate the tight and challenging Delhi layout and he has expertly played his way into contention despite his inexperience.
He shot four birdies against two bogeys and was excited to be leading.
A shot back was India's surprise package Manav Jaini (69), American duo Anthony Kang (67) and rookie Ben Fox (69) and Sweden's Rikard Karlberg (69).
