Amardip Sinh Malik, Sanjay Kumar of Lucknow and Delhi ’s Shamim Khan were the
joint leaders at four-under-209 after round three of the PGTI Players
Championship at Poona Club Golf Course here. Amardip, Sanjay and Shamim shot
scores of 72, 71 and 73 respectively on a high-scoring day.
Amardip Sinh Malik (68-69-72) made a solid start with six
straight pars and then found the green in two on the par-5 seventh to set up
his first birdie of the day. Malik dropped a bogey after missing a three-footer
on the eighth. The 26-year-old made birdie-bogey-bogey on the ninth,
10th and 11th to move to one over for the day. Amardip birdied the
14th and bogeyed the 16th to end the day with a one-over-72.
“I’m quite pleased with my round considering the kind of
places I landed the ball today. I recovered from tough situations and made a
couple of good chip-putts for birdies on the ninth and 14th. I’ve hung in there
despite not being on top of my game over the last three days. I’ll need to sink
more putts in the final round in order to stay in contention,” said Amardip,
who is looking for his maiden professional title.
Sanjay Kumar (69-69-71) holds the joint lead thanks to an
even par 71 in round three. Sanjay made six birdies and six bogeys on Thursday.
Shamim Khan (69-67-73) is also at the top of the leaderboard
along with Amardip Sinh Malik and Sanjay Kumar. Shamim’s 73 included a triple
bogey on the first, three birdies and two bogeys. Shamim, who also led in round
two, made a 35-feet putt from the edge for birdie on the 12th.
Deepinder Singh Kullar of the DLF Golf & Country Club is
placed fourth at three-under-210 while Pune’s Sameer M Shaikh and Arshpreet
Thind of the Classic Golf Resort were joint fifth at two-under-211.
