Choi & Chopra well placed at Houston halfway

Choi Kyung-ju of Korea remained steady when he shot his second straight two-under-par 70 and rose to tied 10th position alongside Sweden’s Daniel Chopra at the Shell Houston Open on Friday.

Choi, who had delivered three top-10 finishes on the US PGA Tour this season, continued his impressive run in Texas with three birdies against a lone bogey while Chopra was even-par for the day at the Redstone Golf Club.

After a 140 total, the duo were two strokes behind Americans Bob Estes, Jason Gore, D.J Brigman, Jeff Maggert, Bubba Watson and Australia’s Stuart Appleby who were all tied at the top of the leaderboard.

India’s Jeev Milkha Singh narrowly made the cut when he was even-par for the day in joint 68th place for a 145 total.

On the European Tour, overnight leader Simon Dyson slipped in the second round as he was in tied 13th place at the Estoril Open de Portugal.

Dyson, winner of four Asian Tour titles, was five strokes adrift compatriot and leader Ross McGowan who shot his second straight 68 for a 136 total at the Quinta da Marinha Oitavos Golfe.

Asian Tour’s Anton Haig of South Africa and Australia’s Terry Pilkadaris had both carded matching 74s in the second round as they missed the cut.
