Daniel Chopra tied 29th at Australian Masters

Indian-born Swede Daniel Chopra turned in a second successive even-par 72 to be placed tied 29th after the penultimate round of the Australian Masters golf tournament here Saturday.

Chopra has a total of two-under 214 at the event while Shiv Kapur missed the cut Friday.

The Swede was off to a sedate start as he parred the first five holes but went one-over at the sixth after stumbling to a bogey. He made amends with a birdie on the eighth to make the turn even.

The backward journey also went steady and he even managed to break par on the 17th with a birdie but a bogey on the very next hole left him even-par in the end.


At the top, Australians Robert Allenby (67) and Michael Sim shared the lead with totals of 10-under 206. The duo was followed by compatriot Ashley Hall (68) a couple of strokes behind.
