ST ANDREWS (SCOTLAND), Aug 27: India’s most successful player on the Asian Tour, Gaganjeet Bhullar, charged up the leaderboard with an electric 7-under 65 and is lying two shots behind the leader — at tied-third — after three days of the St. Andrews Bay Championship.
With one round to go, Bhullar, winner of 10 titles on the Asian Tour — the most by an Indian — is now 15-under at an event, being held at Fairmont Links. He is tied with Mito Pereira from Chile (67) and South African Jaco Ahlers (68) at the Torrance Course at Fairmont, St Andrews.
Turk Pettit (62) is leading the field at 17-under, while Matt Jones (66) is second at 16-under.
Bhullar had four birdies on the front nine and four more in a row from 12th to the 15th but dropped a bogey on the 16th.
Two other Indians are in the top-10. Ajeetesh Sandhu (64) moved to 14-under and is tied-sixth, while Anirban Lahiri, a co-leader after the first round, shot 67 and is tied-10th.
Among the other Indians, SSP Chawrasia (68) is T-27, Veer Ahlawat (72) is T-36, Viraj Madappa (71) is T-43, Rahil Gangjee (72) is T-49 and Rashid Khan (75) is T-65.
Bhullar, who last won a title in Indonesia a year ago, has been having a low-key season, but has now moved into contention. (PTI)
