Om Prakash Chouhan goes three ahead on day three

Pune, April 26, 2012: Om Prakash Chouhan returned a solid four-under-68 to take a three-stroke lead in round three of the PGTI Players Championship presented by Oxford Golf & Country Club. The Mhow-based golfer now has a total of 13-under-203. Delhi’s Rashid Khan and Arshdeep Tiwana of the Golden Greens Golf & Country Club, Gurgaon, share second place at 10-under-206.
Om Prakash Chouhan (66-69-68), the overnight joint leader along with Arshdeep Tiwana, got some early breakthroughs with birdies on the first, third and fifth that helped him open up a lead. Chouhan, who is looking for his maiden professional title, sank a 12-footer on the first and followed that up with an amazing tee shot on the par-3 third that stopped one foot from the pin. Om Prakash chipped-in from the edge on the fifth to go to three-under for the day.
Chouhan continued to impress as he added birdies on the ninth and 11th. The 25-year-old bogeyed the 12th but made six straight pars thereafter to close the day with a four-under score.
Chouhan said, “I just took it hole by hole today and did not get ahead of myself. After sinking birdies early in the round, I focused on playing consistent golf and making all fairways and greens. I got a good bounce on the fifth and as a result managed to chip-in.
“My brother Deepak Chouhan, who is caddying for me, has read the lines well for me this week and his club suggestion has also been spot-on. Both of us are combining well this week. I’ll look to target a two-under score on the final day in order to stay ahead,” added Chouhan.
Two other youngsters, 21-year-old Rashid Khan (71-66-69) and 24-year-old Arshdeep Tiwana (67-68-71) are in joint second place at 10-under-206. Rashid made five birdies and two bogeys in his third round of 69 while Arshdeep’s 71 on Thursday included four birdies and three bogeys.
Shamim Khan of Delhi lies in fourth place at eight-under-208 while Pune’s Pravin Pathare and Harendra Gupta of Chandigarh are in tied fifth at four-under-212.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
