Royal Calcutta Golf Club: England teenager Joshua Berry shot an astounding 10-under 62 to break the course record and emerge joint leader along with India’s Om Prakash Chouhan at a total of 10-under 134 at the halfway stage of the US$300,000 Kolkata Challenge 2025 being played at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club (RCGC) here on Friday.

Joshua Berry’s (72-62) extraordinary and error-free 62 lifted him 53 spots from his overnight 54th position while Om Prakash Chouhan’s (66-68) solid 68 that saw him make a late surge helped him continue as the co-leader for the second successive day in the HotelPlanner Tour & PGTI joint sanctioned event.

Norway’s Andreas Halvorsen (66) was a shot behind the leaders in third place. Dhruv Sheoran returned a 71 on Friday to be the second Indian in the top 10 as he occupied tied eighth place at six-under 138.
