Playa Del Carmen (Mexico), Nov 6

Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri shot a superb bogey-free second round of 5-under 66 that placed him at tied-fifth at the halfway stage of the World Wide Technology Championship. After going with pars for his first nine holes on the back nine as he started from the 10th, Lahiri had five birdies on his second nine. He moved up to 9-under. He was four behind leader Matt Wolff (61-68).

“I think I played pretty well both days, but I was more consistent today I think,” Lahiri said. “A couple of shots that I dropped yesterday were from the fairway and I was a little disappointed. Today I was very happy to go bogey-free. I think it was important,” he added.
