Siddikur steady

Siddikur Rahman maintained steady form in the Hero Indian Open as he managed a 2-under-par (70) in the consecutive rounds at the Delhi Golf Club yesterday. The 2010 Brunei Open champion was tied in joint 14th position (19th overall) as he carded an aggregate four-under-par (140) over the two rounds in the 1.25 million dollar Asian Tour event. The lead was assumed by India's Chiragh Kumar who played a five-under-par 67 for a total of 13-under-par 131 at his home course.
Australia's David Gleeson eagled two holes for 66 to lie in second while Chapchai Nirat of Thailand, who holds the world 72-hole scoring record he set in India in 2009, was a further shot back in third after his blemish free round of 67.
Ross Bain of Scotland, Scott Barr of Australia and Young Nam of Korea were tied in fourth place on 137.
The halfway cut was set at one-over-par 145 with a total of 70 players making the weekend rounds.
