Indian golfer Arjun Atwal failed to replicate his superb first round show, recording an even par 71 to slip to tied 34th from overnight third on the second day of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship here. The birdies did not come as they did on the first day as Atwal, after a superb 63 on the first day, endured a disappointing outing.

At a tournament, where low scoring has been the norm so far, Atwal had three birdies and as many bogeys -- two of which came late on the back nine of the round. Ben Crane tied his career`s lowest round with a stunning 62 to take the second round lead. Crane, a five-time PGA TOUR winner, had nine birdies, an eagle and two bogeys as he finished one ahead of Adam Schenk, Aaron Baddeley, Robby Shelton and Ben Griffin.
