Hyderabad: Looking for his maiden win, Gurugram’s Manu Gandas continued to dominate the show as he maintained his overnight five-shot advantage with a three-under 64 in round three of the Golconda Masters Telangana Open 2021, presented by Vooty & Haldi, at the Hyderabad Golf Association (HGA) course.
Gandas (64-58-64), who totaled 20-under 186 after three days, mixed an eagle and three birdies with two bogeys in the penultimate round. Bengaluru’s Chikkarangappa (67-63-61), the 2019 champion, shot a six-under 61 to rise three spots to tied second place at 15-under 191. The others in joint second place were Chandigarh’s Yuvraj Singh Sandhu (67-62-62) and Noida’s Amardeep Malik (66-61-64), who fired third round scores of five-under 62 and three-under 64 respectively.
The heavy rain over the past two days resulted in waterlogging in certain parts of the HGA course. As a result, Hole No. 3 was reduced from Par-4 to Par-3, Hole No. 6 was reduced from Par-5 to Par-3 and Hole No. 18 was reduced from Par-4 to Par-3. Therefore, the par for the course in round three was 67 instead of the regular 71.
Local lad Mohd Azhar from the Vooty Golf County near Hyderabad struck a hole-in-one on the seventh hole during his third round of two-under 65. He too was placed tied 14th at 199. Azhar has now fired aces in successive events on the PGTI. Interestingly, Azhar had also made a hole-in-one in PGTI’s last event in March.
