Golfer Sandhu in final round of Tata Open
Tournament is being played at the Beldih and Golmuri golf courses in Jamshedpur
Chandigarh’s Yuvraj Sandhu received a neck-and-neck competition from Shubham Jaglan, as both entered the final round with a joint top position at Tata Open being played at the Beldih and Golmuri golf courses in Jamshedpur.
Jaglan (68-66-65), who turned professional earlier this year and is playing only his third event on the PGTI, came up with a top-notch and error-free 6-under 65 on day three to move up one spot into the joint lead at 14-under 199. Gurugram-based Jaglan, who finished runner-up on his PGTI debut last month in Chandigarh, is now searching for his maiden title on the tour.
Sandhu (67-64-68), the halfway leader by three shots, shot a 3-under 68 in round three to end the day tied for the lead at 14-under 199.
The rest of the field was shared by Veer Ahlawat (65), Khalin Joshi (68) and N Thangaraja (68) who are placed five shots behind the joint leaders in tied third at 9-under 204. Jaglan, who was overnight second, three shots off the lead, had a fruitful front-nine where he collected three birdies and an eagle, thanks to two seven-foot conversions and two 15-foot conversions. On the back-nine, he picked up a birdie on the 12th but also made two terrific par-saves including a 25-footer that kept the momentum going for him.
Sandhu made five birdies against two bogeys on Saturday to continue at the top of the leaderboard.
