CHRIS PAISLEY has climbed into the top ten at the Hero Indian Open after an impressive second round.

The Hexham golfer, who has struggled to far this year, followed up solid opening 18 holes by shooting four-under 68 to move into contention in Delhi.

Despite the impressive total, Paisley had an inconsistent day which included three bogeys as well as the seven birdies. He is seven shots adrift of leader Terry Pilkadaris going into the weekend.

Barnard Castle’s Rob Dinwiddie missed the cut after following up a 74 on Thursday with a 75 on Friday.
