Disappointing start for Indians in Korea in Kolon Korea Open on the Asian Tour
was the lone Indian inside the cut line after the first day at the
Kolon Korea Open
on the Asian Tour, even as his compatriots disappointed. Sandhu, at 2-over 73, was tied 48th at the Dunes Course at La Vie Est Belle golf club, north-east of the capital Seoul.
Starting on the 10, Sandhu opened with a birdie and then had two birdies and two boogeys in the remaining eight holes to be one-under. On his second nine, he dropped three bogeys on the fifth, seventh and the ninth to finish at 73.
Jeev Milkha Singh and SSP Chawrasia had a tough time. Jeev, who recently finished in the Top-10 at a Legends event in Europe, shot 6-over 77 and was tied 110th, while Chawrasia carded 10-over 81 to be tied 137th.

Qualifier Yujun Jung, 22, from
Korea
was the surprise first-round leader. Jung made it through a 36-hole pre-qualifier, at the same venue, earlier in the month and drew on that experience to set the pace.
He shot the only bogey-free round of the day. It was an impressive result considering the penal set-up.

At 7,423 yards it is long and, as is the norm at this tournament, it has been configured like a US Open course with exceptionally narrow fairways and fast greens.
He made six birdies and was led by two from Thailand's Phachara Khongwatmai and Australian Jed Morgan, both with 67s.

Alcaraz defies sweltering conditions in Cincinnati win
Carlos Alcaraz beat the heat and humidity of a Midwest summer as the world number two advanced to the fourth round of the ATP and WTA Cincinnati Open on Tuesday. Alcaraz defies sweltering conditions in Cincinnati win The Spanish second seed kept his exposure to a minimum in 32 Celsius conditions, taking an efficient 95 minutes to dispatch Serb Hamad Medjedovic 6-4, 6-4, for his 50th match win of the year. "Medjedovic doesn't like to run that much, so I tried to move him around as much as possible," Alcaraz said. "But it was difficult with the ball flying so much and his shots coming so fast. I tried to defend in a good way." Alcaraz has been on a tear in 2025 as he chases Jannik Sinner in the ATP rankings, and now owns 13 straight victories at the Masters 1000 level. He will play for the quarter-finals against Luca Nardi after the Italian defeated Jakob Mensik 6-2, 2-1 with the Czech retiring after 42 minutes. Five-time Grand Slam winner Alcaraz, who is preparing for the approaching US Open start, added: "I was really happy to get the win in a very difficult match. "The season is very long and in at least half of your matches you don't feel that good . "But you have to stay positive and play your best tennis on the day. I'm proud about that. It's a goal of the season." Francisco Comesano and Reilly Opelka both felt the heat of their mid-day match, which was interrupted for 45 minutes by rain, as the Argentine limped to a 6-7 , 6-4, 7-5 win while saving three match points. Comesano needed a medical time out midway through the second set, but came back out to continue what turned into a fight of nearly three hours against the American. Opelka called for the doctor just moments from his eventual loss, complaining of dizziness and high blood pressure after being broken for 5-6 in the final set. After a quick consultation at his chair, Opelka was back on court to weakly scoop a return into the net on his opponent's second match point. The 71st-ranked South American will face ninth seed Andrey Rublev, who beat Australian Alexei Popyrin 6-7 , 7-6 , 7-5. Opelka, noted for his big serve, fired 27 aces but also committed nearly 60 unforced errors. Comesano broke on four of his 13 chances. He is the first Argentine into the Cincy round of 16 since Diego Schwartzman in 2022. In the WTA draw, second seed Coco Gauff eased into the fourth round when opponent Dayana Yastremska withdrew before their Tuesday match. The American, who won the 2023 Cincinnati title and followed up with a US Open crown, will await an opponent from former Roland Garros champion Jelena Ostapenko and Italian Lucia Bronzetti. Yastremska was unable to play due to illness, the WTA said. Seventh seed Jasmine Paolini, last season's Roland Garros and Wimbledon finalist, defeated American Ashlyn Krueger 7-6, , 6-1 while German qualifier Ella Seidel continued her strong showing with a 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 defeat of McCartney Kessler. Two-time Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejcikova outlasted American Iva Jovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. str/js This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
