Rio: India's SSP Chawrasia and Anirban Lahiri scored even-par 71 and two-over 73 to finish tied 30th and joint 51st respectively after the second round of the golf tournament at the Olympic Games here on Friday.

Chawrasia, who took his two-day total to 142, showed tremendous fighting spirit after a poor start on Friday that saw him get a bogey on the second hole and a double bogey on the par-four third hole.

However, he fought his way back by birding the next two holes before scoring two consecutive birdies on the eighth and ninth to sit on a one-under.

Lahiri struggled throughout the day as he got bogeys on the fourth and fifth holes before birding the sixth. He again bogeyed the seventh and eighth hole to get to three-under.
