Orlando, March 28: After a nervy first round, Jeev Milkha Singh found his bearing in the second and brought home a strong two-under 68 to join Indian-born Swede Daniel Chopra at the tied 13th spot in the Arnold Palmer Invitational golf tournament.
After an opening round of 71, Jeev seemed more comfortable at the Bay Hill Club and Lodge and his two-day tally of one-under 139 kept him in the hunt for a top-10 finish in the USD 5.8 million event.
Playing his back nine first, Jeev didn`t waver and snapped the string of par shots with the 13th hole birdie to take the turn at one-under.
His front nine was more dramatic with bogeys on the second and ninth holes and three birdies in between.
Chopra followed his opening round of 68 with a 71 to join Jeev at 13th.
Sean O`Hair (132) blasted a five-under 65 to open up a three-shot lead over Jason Gore who returned a one-under 70.
