Challengers Hot on Fleetwood’s Trail
Following closely behind Fleetwood, Shane Lowry from Ireland is just one stroke back at -11. Lowry managed to keep his game steady with a round of 69, which included four birdies and a lone bogey. Adding to the excitement, American golfer Brian Harman also shares that impressive score of -11 after a second-round effort of 65.

Just a bit further down the leaderboard, we have Ben Robinson-Thompson from England and Joost Luiten from the Netherlands, both claiming a respectable -9.
Notable Names on the Leaderboard
Among other notable players, Matt Fitzpatrick is hanging tough at -8, while Ben Griffin and Andy Sullivan are not far behind at -7. Even golf superstar Rory McIlroy is in the mix, sitting at -6 after scoring another 69 that featured four birdies and three bogeys. Interestingly, Viktor Hovland matched McIlroy’s score, proving that the competition is fierce.
Meanwhile, Luke Donald managed to finish the second round with a score of -5, keeping his hopes alive as the championship progresses.
Fleetwood’s Magnificent Round
Fleetwood’s remarkable performance is deserving of attention as he boasted a round filled with eight birdies and, notably, no bogeys. This flawless play exemplifies his mastery on the golf course and puts him in a prime position as he chases his eighth title on the DP World Tour. Just recently, he also celebrated a triumph with a victory at the coveted FedEx Cup.
Rory McIlroy, while striving to catch up, faced some challenges during his front nine but found his rhythm with a brilliant surge on the last six holes, nailing four birdies in quick succession.
A Challenging Course Awaits
The Delhi Golf Club is notorious for its unique challenges that can throw any player off their game. With the narrow fairways and shorter yardage, it’s no wonder that a surprising 42% of players have opted to play without a driver this week. It demonstrates the strategic adjustments many golfers are making to tackle the *haunted* nuances of this historic course.
As the tournament unfolds, all eyes will certainly be on Fleetwood and his formidable challengers hoping to make a move in this exciting competition. Golf enthusiasts everywhere are eagerly watching as the third round approaches, wondering if Fleetwood can maintain his lead to clinch yet another title!
