Wentworth (UK) : SSP Chawrasia flew on the wings of a great eagle to ensure weekend action at the BMW PGA Championship.
Chawrasia, four-time winner on the European Tour, including his home open, the Hero Indian Open last two years, was tied-37th, as he made a great recovery from a troubled start.
He had two bogeys in first three holes, but a morale boosting bogey followed by steady pars saw him turn in one- over at which point he was one-over for the tournament. A bogey on 10th put him in danger, but a brilliant eagle on par-5 12th saw him get to even and he was steady thereafter.
He hit a fine drive and then produced a brilliant second shot with 5-Iron and landed to four feet for an eagle, which he duly converted. Six pars followed and he ensured a chance to improve on his showing over the weekend.
Chawrasia was T-27 last year at the same event, but his best finish has been T-15 in 2012. This is his ninth appearance the BMW PGA.
