Rabat, Morocco: Ajeetesh Sandhu carded a bogey-free 3-under 70 to emerge as the top Indian at the halfway stage of the USD 2 million International Series Morocco golf tournament.

Sandhu, who shot 1-under 72 in the first round, is now 4-under and Tied-25th, as four-time Am Green IGPL winner, Gaganjeet Bhullar slipped down to T-47 despite a run of four straight birdies on the front nine.

Another AM Green IGPL winner, Karandeep Kochhar, at T-47, was the only other Indian to make the cut.

Meanwhile, two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson joined Thailand's Pavit Tangkamolprasert on top of the leaderboard.

The 47-year-old Watson played great golf to overcome the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam's Red Course, carding a seven-under par 66, the lowest round of the day and catching up with Pavit, who closed with a three-under par 70 to tie at 11-under 135 total.
