Belek, May 2 -- Yuvraj Sandhu made an impressive start to his campaign at the Turkish Airlines Open in Antalya, delivering one of his strongest opening rounds on the DP World Tour. The debutant carded a 3-under 69, placing him comfortably inside the top 10 after the first day. Fellow Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma also performed steadily, returning a 2-under 70 to sit in a tie for 22nd position.

Sweden's Mikael Lindberg emerged as the early leader with a flawless, bogey-free round of 66, giving him a one-shot advantage. Although he began his back nine at just one under par, Lindberg surged ahead with an impressive late run, collecting four birdies over his final six holes to climb to six under at the National Golf Club.
