Madison: Daniel Chopra blasts a four-under 68 to climb up to tied 10th but Arjun Atwal plays an error-filled round of 76 to barely make the cut at the USD 3 million Southern Farm Bureau Classic golf championships here.

Moving up from overnight tied 27th, Chopra is now five-under 139 and tied 11th for two rounds.

Chopra, who has a 71 on first day, had birdies on first, third, seventh as he turns in three-under. He adds birdies on 11th and 16th and is five-under at that stage.

He drops a shot on the par-4 17th for his lone blemish of the day.

Atwal who seems to be showing signs of turning a corner at tied 11th overnight lapsed into errors, as he had six bogeys and just and two bogeys for a round of four-over 76 on second day.

His first round of three-under 69 saved him as he squeezes inside the cut line of one-over. He aggregated one-over 145.
