Kolkata, August 13, 2026: Jamal Hossain carded a seven-under 63 to take a two-shot lead following the completion of the rain-delayed second round of the Coal India Open at Tollygunge Club in Kolkata on Thursday.
The 41-year-old Bangladeshi golfer (65-63), a six-time winner on the DP World PGTI, moved to 12-under 128 after an eventful round featuring seven birdies, an eagle and two bogeys.
Hossain began his second round three shots behind first-round leader Om Prakash Chouhan and was tied for fifth when heavy rain forced the suspension of play on Wednesday. He returned on Thursday to complete his remaining holes, when he moved clear of the field.
The tournament has been reduced to 54 holes following the weather disruptions. The third and final round will be played on Friday with a shotgun start.
