CHAWRASIA TAKES TWO SHOTS LEAD INTO INDIAN OPEN FINAL

-

​S.S.P. Chawrasia pulled two shots clear from title holder Siddikur Rahman after shooting a third round two-under-par 69 at the Hero Indian Open on Saturday. The popular Indian, who leads on 12-under-par 201, dropped his first shot in 52 holes on hole 17 but remains in prime position to win his third title at the Delhi Golf Club.
 
Siddikur, a two-time Asian Tour winner, birdied the last hole for a 70 to give his title defence a lifeline at the US$1.5 million event sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour. Australian Marcus Fraser carded a bogey-free 67 to sit in third place, five shots off the pace, while Daniel Chopra made a brilliant eagle three on the 18th hole for the day's low round of 65 to share fourth place alongside Prayad Marksaeng (69) of Thailand.
 
Home favourite Anirban mounted a brief charge before dropping several shots on the back nine to settle for a 70 to tie for sixth place with Paul Peterson of the United States on a 208 total.
