Honolulu, Hawaii: Arjun Atwal fired an eagle on his starting hole and Daniel Chopra had a quadruple bogey on the first, but in the end both missed the cut after the second day of the Sony Open in Hawaii here.
Atwal had rounds 70 and 71 for a 36-hole total of 141, while Chopra carded 71 and 74 for 145. The cut came at one-under 139 at the Waialae Country Club here.
This was the first event of the season for Atwal, as also for Chopra, who after missing out on a full card is likely to get a few starts plus some invites.
Atwal had two birdies and three bogeys in the first round, and then in the second round he had an eagle on 10th, from where he started. He was two-under through 11 holes till he ran into a trio of bogeys from third to fifth and then another on eighth. A birdie on ninth was not enough.
Chopra had eventful first round with four birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey in 71. In the second round he had four birdies, four bogeys and a quadruple.
Matt Every was in joint lead at the tournament 12-under 198 for three rounds. He shared the lead with veteran Jeff Maggert. Every had rounds of 66, 64 and 68, while Maggert shot 69, 65 and 64.
Charles Howell III, who has had five finishes in the top five at the Sony Open, gave himself another opportunity with a 66. He was in the group at 10-under 200.
Pebble Beach winner, D A Points shot 64 and was another shot back, while the large group at 8-under 202 included Steve Stricker, winner of the Hyundai Champions event last week.
