{image-arjun atwal_03052008.jpg news.oneindia.in}Valdosta, US, May 3: After a poor opening day card of 74, Arjun Atwal put up a solid second round performance of one-under 71 to make the cut in the 625,000 dollars South Georgia Classic golf tournament here.

Atwal now lies tied 55th after the halfway stage with his total score at one-over 145. In the second round, a double bogey on the 16th hole did hurt him but Atwal managed to make the cut and return for the weekend action at the Kinderlou Forest Golf Club. Atwal could have easily finished the second day higher up the leaderboard if the double bogey on the 16th had not come in his way. The Indian birdied the second, fourth and 13th holes to go three-under as Bryan DeCorso (137) fired three-under 69 to open up a two-shot lead over the Marco Dawson (68) and David Miller (70) duo.
