Singh carded a one-under-par 71, taking him to a four-over total at the halfway stage and safely inside the cut line which fell at eight over. This was only Singh’s second appearance in a professional tournament, having competed on the Asian Development Tour in Malaysia last year.

The high-profile event in Delhi gave the talented teen the chance to learn from the very best in the world with two-time major winner Bryson DeChambeau, home favourite Anirban Lahiri and fellow LIV Golf League star Joaquin Niemann in a strong field.

The world no.1 U/15 amateur admitted that familiarity with his home course played to his advantage. He said: “It feels unreal playing with Bryson, because normally I'm looking at him on TV, and here I'm playing with him in the same tournament, so it's a great experience.

“I knew this is my home course, so I definitely have that advantage and then I know if my game is at that level and if I play my game, I'm able to compete with the pros.

“The experience was very good today. Today, I played quite well, I played one under. I was four under after 11 holes, but it's okay. I mean, I'm still happy with one under par on this course. Yesterday was not that good, but I'm still happy that I was able to make the cut, and hopefully I can play well this weekend.”

The tournament, located in Gurugram on the outskirts of Delhi, has been affected by fog with round two only finishing on Saturday afternoon, and round three starting at 3:30pm local time.

Joaquin Niemann (-7) leads the field by one from Japan's Kazuki Higa, with Ollie Schniederjans (USA) two shots further back.

Australia's Travis Smyth (-3) is teid for fifth and has 10 holes to play in round three, while Sydney-sider Kevin Yuan is tied for eighth at one-under, equal with tournament drawcard DeChambeau, on the testing Gary Player-designed layout.

International Series India presented by DLF is the first of 10 events on The International Series in 2025, with the next event coming at International Series Macau presented by Wynn, a tournament that saw Asian Tour Order of Merit winner, John Catlin come out victorious.
