Indian-American Golfer Theegala Stays In Hunt Despite Slip As Weekend Battle Awaits In Canada
Sahith Theegala: Indian-American star Sahith Theegala remains in contention at the Canadian Open despite surrendering his share of the lead during the second round. The golfer carded a 1-under 69 to reach 7-under for the tournament and Tied-13. He is just three shots behind the leader as the event heads into an intriguing weekend phase.
After an impressive opening-round 64 had propelled him into a share of the lead, Theegala faced a sterner challenge on Friday. While conditions and scoring opportunities were not as favourable, the 27-year-old showed resilience and ensured he stayed within striking distance of the leaders.
Starting on the front nine, Theegala looked set for another low round as he collected birdies at the third and seventh holes. His ball-striking remained solid for much of the day, but a pair of bogeys on the 10th and 15th holes halted his momentum and briefly pushed him back toward the pack. Refusing to let the round slip away, he produced a timely birdie at the closing 18th hole to sign for a 69 and maintain his place among the contenders.
