Bali:
Randhawa sank six birdies and an eagle against a couple of bogeys to aggregate six-under 210 at the New Kuta Golf Course here.
Among other Indians in fray, Digvijay Singh carded one-under 71 to total four-under 212 for tied 13th, two strokes ahead of senior pro Gaurav Ghei (74) and Indian-born Swede Daniel Chopra (70), who slumped to tied 28.
Gaganjeet Bhullar's second successive 71 had him tied 45 with a total of even-par 216, while SSP Chowrasia found the going tough and was tied 65 with a total of 220 after a horrendous five-over 77 today.
Randhawa was off the block with a birdie and picked up a couple of shots at the sixth and seventh before dropping a bogey on the eight, but the Delhi-golfer picked up another birdie at the last hole to take the turn at three-under.
His back nine was also magical and he hit a birdie brace at the 10th and 11th, with the 16th eagle being the jewel in the crown. He ended the day with a bogey on the 17th hole.
In contrast, Digvijay bogeyed the third and 11th hole while hitting a birdie brace at the fourth and fifth and another one on the 10th.
However, for Ghei, a lone birdie on the 13th was the only bright spot in his otherwise lacklustre card that had one bogey in his front nine and a couple on the back nine.
At the top, Thai Thongchai Jaidee blasted a five-under 67 to total nine-under 207 and grab a one stroke lead over Alexander Noren of Sweden, who carded a sparkling 66.
