Jakarta, 6 August 2014 - I Ketut Sugiarta held his game together to score more birdies on round two of the Indonesian Golf Tour presented by Linc Group at Matoa Nasional Golf Course.

Despite this, Ketut managed to generate six birdies with a total of five-under-par (139) and secure his position as the leader of the day.

“I tried to play my normal game. You have to trust your feelings to beat the wind out there. I will keep using the same strategy for tomorrow and we’ll see.” Said Ketut who’s in 8th place in the current Indonesian Golf Tour Order of Merit.

Tailing Sugiarta with one-under -par, Indra Hermawan played an even par round tied with Junaidi Ibrahim. Firm fairways and greens were another challenge on the course.

Young promising rookie, Fajar Win Nuryanto, who turned professional in early 2014, said that the Indonesian Golf Tour series has helped him improve his game.

“I’m glad for the tour, and thanks to all involved and supporting the tour. This series has motivated me to get better. My target this year is to reach the top 20. Currently I’m in 26th position.” said Fajar who finished round two tied for fifth place.

Kevin Caesario Akbar took the lead for the men amateur class and signed-in with five-over-par (149) to overtake overnight leader, Danny Masrin of the USA.

Defending her position for the ladies amateurs and scoring 76 in round two, Juriah signed-in a total score of 154. Chasing her in second place is Gianti Mahardika, climbing from 4th place in round one, with a total score of 159.
