Shiv, Jeev make the cut at Nordea

30th May,2014. N Kapur tied 43 finished four under 144 while Singh remained at the bottom of the pack, just about sliding within the cut with a 2 over 145. Kapur seemed pleased with his performance, moving up 93 positions and holing 5 birdies.

Alvaro Quiros continued his return to form to join Victor Dubuisson and Eddie Pepperell in a share of the halfway lead at the Nordea Masters in Malmö.

Spaniard Quiros shot a best of the day 67 that included two eagles, with France’s Dubuisson joining him courtesy of a second consecutive 69 and overnight joint-leader Pepperell firing a 72.

That was the same mark Jens Dantorp and Pepperell had set overnight at PGA Sweden National, as a stiff breeze made for a tough day, with World Number Two Henrik Stenson handily placed just a shot off the lead.

Quiros won six times on The European Tour between 2007 and 2011, but injuries and a loss of form saw him fail to record a top-three finish in either of the next two seasons.

That run ended when he was third in China last month, his second top five in three events, and now the 31 year old is in the hunt for a first win in three years.

Big-hitting Quiros had eagled the 11th and birdied the 15th and 18th to turn in 32, then hit his second shot to within five feet of the par five first for another eagle that took him to seven under.

The second round has definitely proved luckier for Shiv Kapur whereas for Jeev Milkha Singh it has been quite an unconvincing series of shots but having made the cut, one hopes he will build upon his game.
