Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma made a solid start while compatriot Gaganjeet Bhullar fell behind on the opening day of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in Dubai on Thursday.
Sharma, who missed the cut by a considerable margin last week in Abu Dhabi, missed a lot of birdie putts but still shot a solid 2-under 70 and was lying T-20 after the first day.
Bhullar, starting from 10th, had a rough day with bogeys at the start and then again towards the end of his round and finished the day with 5-over 77. He is now in danger of missing a second straight cut in the Middle East swing.
