IGPL Invitational Delhi NCR: Kartik Singh sits on the threshold of a milestone in his young career as he sits on a three-shot lead over a starry field at the IGPL Delhi NCR hosted by Gaurav Ghei. The 16-year-old, who finished eighth on his professional debut last week in Chandigarh, added a 3-under 67 on a course which was played to Par-70 in the second round.

Hole four was played as a Par-3 instead of Par-5 because of excessive rain and waterlogging. So, the Par for the Jaypee Greens course came down to 70, and par for the first two rounds was 142 (72-70). Kartik had a first-round 68 (-4), and he added a 3-under 67 to get to seven-under 135 in only his second professional event.

Winner of multiple titles on the junior and amateur circuit, Kartik is now within handshaking distance of a pro win, which will be worth Rs. 22.50 lakhs. He was three shots clear of the experienced Karandeep Kochhar (70-68) at 4-under 138 and the long-hitting Pukhraj Singh Gill (72-66).
