Saini said, ㉠was
in brilliant putting form today as I sank birdie putts from 20 and 15 feet on
the 10th and third respectively. I also created some birdie
opportunities with my hitting. I almost drove the par-4 green on the seventh
and found the green in two on the par-5 eighth for successive birdies. Iⶥ
gained some good experience this year and the runner-up finish in my first
event lifted my confidence.伯span>
Baisoya, who
played alongside Ashbeer on the amateur circuit till last year, said, 㔨e
top-10 finish in Nepal couple of weeks back has helped me raise my game. My
putter was hot on the front-nine today as I sank birdie putts from 10 feet on
the first and fifth. I also hit it really well. I landed my tee shot within
five feet for birdie on the fourth. I narrowly missed out on eagle
opportunities on the 12th and 18th where I eventually
bagged birdies. My approach shot from 150 yards landed within one inch of the
pin on the 12th while my eagle putt from 15 feet lipped out on the
18th
Dipankar Kaushal
is one stroke off the lead in third place. His round featured an eagle on the
18th, four birdies and three bogeys.
