Jakarta [Indonesia], October 2 (ANI): Veteran Rahil Gangjee is the best-placed Indian player in the field on a rain-affected opening day of the Jakarta International Championship at the Damai Indah Golf PIK Course.

The 47-year-old, a two-time Asian Tour champion, carded birdies on nine, 13, 14 and 16 for a blemish-free four-under 66, three off the clubhouse lead, as per a release from LIV Golf.

Gaganjeet Bhullar is on the same score but could only complete 16 holes before darkness fell. The Olympian, a serial winner in Indonesia, started with eagle on the 545-yard par-five first, and was four under through four after two further early birdies. But after picking up another on 11, he dropped a shot on the par-three 15th shortly before play ended for the day.
