Description

The second day at the Classic Golf & Country Club in Gurugram presents a pivotal shift in the tournament's landscape as the field battles to secure a spot for the weekend. The narrative centers on the surge of South Africa’s MJ Daffue, who enters the round looking to capitalize on the momentum of a steady opening day. A major challenge for the field is the increasing pressure of the 36-hole cut, combined with the firming fairways and shifting winds that characterize the Haryana afternoons.

For the overnight co-leaders Adam Wallin and Rashid Khan, the objective is to maintain their aggressive approach while avoiding the costly errors that often derail momentum during moving day's precursor. The local contingent, led by Khan and Saptak Talwar, aims to utilize their familiarity with the Jack Nicklaus-designed layout to stay within striking distance of the European Challenge Tour regulars. With the leaderboard expected to remain congested, precision off the tee and efficiency on the undulating greens will determine who heads into the third round with a championship-winning trajectory.

Result Description

MJ Daffue and Rashid Khan finished the second day in a share of the lead at 13-under par, following a record-breaking performance in Gurugram. The narrative of the day was written by Daffue, who carded a sensational, bogey-free 11-under 61 to set a new course record. Starting his round on the 10th hole, the South African ignited his charge with four birdies in his first six holes, eventually adding four consecutive birdies around the turn to skyrocket up the leaderboard.

India’s Rashid Khan matched the lead late in the day, though his round was interrupted by fading light with three holes still to play. Khan’s performance was equally explosive, featuring an eagle and five birdies that kept the local fans energized. The pair holds a two-stroke advantage over the nearest challengers, including Saptak Talwar, who sits in solo third at 11-under par. Overnight co-leader Adam Wallin remains in the hunt after a solid 67, while Sebastian Friedrichsen experienced a more turbulent day, finishing with a 73 to slip back into the chasing pack. The cut fell at a competitive level, trimming the field for what promises to be a high-scoring weekend.
