October 24, 2015: Indian golfers enjoyed another day of productive shot making as Anirban Lahiri and Jeev Milkha Singh shot 65 to rise up to third and fourth on the leaderboard. Dane Lucas Bjerregaard shot a brilliant 63 to shoot to the top of the heap. Justin Rose shot 64 to earn a share of the lead going into the final round at the Hong Kong Golf Club.
Lahiri had an early slip, conceding a bogey at the second hole. But he recovered quickly by regaining the shot at the very next hole.
Lahiri kept himself in contention with three birdies in the first four holes on the return stretch, before adding two more in quick succession at the 16th and 17th to sign off in style.
Jeev put together three bogeys and two birdies on the front nine, taking 35 shots to navigate the first nine holes. But six birdies in the final nine holes helped him score five-under 65.
Jeev is lying fourth at 10-under 200 with Lahiri one better on his Indian compatriot. The two men will share the stage in the final round as they try and find a way to bridge the four shot deficit on the two leaders.
Gaganjeet Bhullar made four birdies in six holes as he settled in the ninth spot, with a 67 in the third round.
Rahil Gangjee is in 15th at 6-under 204, courtesy a 68 in the third round. SSP Chawrasia shot 71, dropping 18 spots to 35th on the leaderboard.
Jyoti Randhawa moved from 61st place to 44th with a 68 on Saturday.
Rose has been in great form this week, making just a solitary bogey in three rounds thus far. That blemish came at the ninth hole of the second round.
On Saturday, Rose kept things simple – needing just two birdies and two eagles to account for a spotless 64 for a share of the lead.
