Jeev was tied 12th after carding a one-under par 71, a creditable position considering the inclement weather that knocked out many a top names.

Gangjee had a disastrous second round of eight-over and missed cut at 99th place, while Kapur who shot a 76 on opening day and needed a good under-par score managed only a 75 and crashed out at seven-over.

Randhawa (77-75) went eight-over and also missed weekend action.

18-year-old Thai Chinarat Phadungsil was leading at seven-under 137 and he was two ahead of a group of five players at five-under 139.
