MIAMI, Oct 28: Arjun Atwal will have to go back to the Qualifying School for his full playing privileges after crashing out at the midway stage of the Chrysler Championship.
Atwal, who had a roller coaster of a round with one eagle, three double bogeys, four bogeys and four birdies, carded a four-over 75 and missed the cut by a long margin.
Currently ranked 137th on the Money List, he is nevertheless eligible for limited exemptions and will get about 16 starts just as he got in 2005.
Daniel Chopra shot a one-over 72 and dropped to 11th spot. He had three birdies and four bogeys in his round. Ranked 53rd, he is assured of a full card next season plus entries into big events as he is inside the top-70 on the Money List.
Korea's Choi Kyung-ju grabbed the half-way lead after firing a superb five-under-par 66. With a two-day total of eight-under-par 134, he holds a one stroke lead over South African Ernie Els and Americans Jonathan Byrd and Brian Gay in the USPGA Tour event.
Thanks to his solid drives and consistent game, Choi, who started on the back nine, blasted three consecutive birdies on the 13th, 14th and 15th holes. He then leaped ahead of the field after firing four straight birdies on the first, second, third and fourth holes.
Using a five wood, Choi had just one blemish at the par three eighth when he powered the shot beyond the green and the ball landed in thick rough for a double bogey.
The Westin Innisbrook Resort has proved to be a good hunting ground for Choi who had previously won the 2002 Tampa Bay Classic at the same venue.
