Barcelona: Yuvraj Sandhu, who is playing his maiden DP World Tour season, was the lone Indian to make the cut at the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship leaderboard here.
Sandhu, who shot 4-under 68 on the first day, carded even par on the second day. He was placed at T-16.
However, India’s other two golfers in the field Shubhankar Sharma (71-74) and Veer Ahlawat (75-72) missed the cut.
Stefano Mazzoli and Lucas Bjerregaard head into the weekend tied at the top.
Rookie Mazzoli, who secured promotion to the DP World Tour by a top eight finish on the 2025 Road to Mallorca Rankings, set the early target on Friday with a bogey free 67.
Having opened with a 66, the Italian made a quick start to the second round with back-to-back birdies from the first and maintained the momentum. His third gain came on the fifth hole.
Then came a remarkable run of 11 straight pars before a birdie-birdie finish. He almost chipped in for eagle at the last.
Meanwhile, Bjerregaard matched Mazzoli with his own final hole birdie to cap off a second round 67.
A shot behind the pair at the top is South African Yurav Premlall, who carded the lowest round of his DP World Tour career with an eight-under-par 64 to head into the weekend on ten-under.
Premlall, whose best finish so far this season is a tie for 31st at the Hero Indian Open, said he is taking it one step at a time rather than trying to think of what’s at stake.
