MACAO, Oct. 20-- Indian Gaganjeet Bhullar eagled the last hole for a superb six-under-par 65 to lead the board by four shots at the 2017 Macao Golf Open here on Friday. "It was good solid round. It was windy. It wasn't easy. I thought it was slightly more difficult than yesterday. I made a good par save on the first hole and that kept me going," said Bhullar, who stayed on course for his eighth Asian Tour title. Bhullar, who held a share of the overnight lead, rolled in four birdies to turn in 31. He picked up another birdie on 13 but stumbled with a lone bogey on 15 before bouncing back strongly with an eagle on 18. "I won't be thinking about winning right now. The goal is to keep doing what I have been doing for the first two rounds. If I can do that, it will be fortunate for me," added Bhullar. Another Indian golfer Ajeetesh Sandhu continued his red-hot form to sign for a 67 and move into the second place with a total score of 133. Kim Giwhan of South Korea delivered a 70 to trail by five shots in the third place with 134 alongside Angelo Que of the Philippines, who posted a bogey-free 67. Thailand's Prom Meesawat and Indian Shubhankar Sharma shared the fifth place with 137. Chinese veteran Zhang Lianwei carded a 69 to tie 20th position on 142 with reigning Order of Merit champion Scott Hend of Australia, while another Chinese golfer Liang Wenchong was eliminated from the tournament after he battled to a 74 to stay in the tied-72nd place with 146. |
