McGrane tied for second place at Indian Masters

Ireland’s Damien McGrane showed no ill effects from his recent tussle with Tiger Woods after carding a five-under-par first round at the inaugural Indian Masters to sit two strokes adrift of leader Jyoti Randhawa.

McGrane went head to head with runaway world number one Woods over the final two rounds of last week’s Dubai Desert Classic, where he more than held his own against the American before eventually being worn down.
