Golf Championship
Chandigarh, November 13 On a day when pin placements were tough, Rashid called the shots with only one player, Abhinav Lohan, returning a par card. With Vikram Rana two strokes away, Rashid has set his sights on a hat-trick of triumphs in the LG Amateur Tour. The city golfer fought the windy conditions to sink one birdie and concede two bogeys for a one over par 37 at the turn. But, Aman was stuck on the 15th hole dropping a quadruple bogey. Three more bogies saw him play a seven over par 43 back nine and a miserable card of eight over 80 to finish the third round at 12 over par 228, eight strokes behind the leader. Placed eighth on the LG Order of Merit, Rashid, fought the winds on the front nine to make the turn at two over par. Vikram started badly putting thrice with the ball just 2 ft from the hole resulting in a triple bogey on the first hole. This was followed by a bogey on the second. He appeared to be drifting away leaving Rashid lonely on top of the leaderboard. But then he struck a bright patch sinking an eagle from the centre of the fairway on the par 4 sixth hole, reducing the deficit to just one stroke. Vikram said: “I just hit a good shot there I guess. It got me back into the round and kept me in the thick
of the action.” A final score of four over 76 was not bad considering he is trailing the leader by just two strokes and three shots clear of the next best player in the field. Abhinav Lohan was the only one who left the course without any battle wounds as he returned a card of even par 72, which moved him up to third spot and in to the last group for the final round. He had a good outing at the LG Golden Greens Amateur, where he was in contention for his first win on tour
and fell back on the last two days. A good round today has given him another chance and he would be looking to make the most of this opportunity. With18 holes left it remains to be seen if Rashid can pocket another title on tour or not. The final scores (after round three): 218 Rashid Khan (77-71-75); 220 Vikram Rana (75-69-76); 213 Abhinav Lohan (74-77-72); 224 Angad Cheema (73-77-74) and Karan Vasudeva (73-76-75); 227 Samaresh Sardar (78-74-75); 228 Aman Guron (73-75-80); 229 Kanishk Madan 72-82-75), Manav Das (74-78-77), Pawan Kumar (79-70-80), Gagan Verma (70-79-80); 230 Arshdeep Tiwana (82-74-74), Saurabh Bahuguna (77-78-75), H. S. Kang (74-81-75), Amanjyot Singh (77-77-76), Navtej Singh (75-76-79) and Aditya Bhandarkar (75-74-81). |
