A superb display of consistent golf saw Nadaraja Thangaraja maintain his lead after Day Two of the E-WIS Sri Lanka Professional Golf Championship, returning rounds of 65 and 70 for an outstanding total of 135 at Rajawella yesterday.
The experienced professional golfer dominated the tournament from the opening round, taking control with a superb seven-under-par 65 before carding a 70 in the second round. His all-round performance left the rest of the field trailing by 12 strokes, underlining his class and experience on the domestic circuit.
The race for second place proved much closer, with Chalitha Pushpika and H.L. Priya Hemantha tied on 147. Pushpika followed his opening-round 71 with a 76, while Hemantha’s steady rounds of 73 and 74 earned him a share of second place heading into the final day.
Today is the third and final day of the tournament.
