He hit the ball into the hole with just one swing on one hole, which is called a hole-in-one, and he also made an eagle, which is when you finish a hole two shots under the expected number.

His score was 62, which is eight shots better than normal, and he is now one shot ahead of everyone else.

The second-best player is Ajeetesh Sandhu, who played very well and is just one shot behind.

This tournament is called the Coal India Open, and it has a prize of one crore rupees.

Chouhan knows the golf course very well and has even won a tournament there before, so he felt comfortable playing.

Other players like Shaurya Bhattacharya and Kshitij Naveed Kaul are also playing well and are close behind.

The tournament will continue with more rounds, and the player with the best total score will win.
