Crans Montana, Aug 29 (PTI) India’s Shubhankar Sharma stayed on course for a top 10 finish as he carded a three-under 67 in the third round to lie tied 9th at the Omega European Masters golf tournament here.<\/p>\n
Sharma landed a second eagle in the event, when he putted from 35 feet on the Par-5 ninth. He also had three other birdies against two bogeys on a day when the conditions were cooler and the wind was swirling, making scoring tough.<\/p>\n
He now has rounds of 68-68-67 and is seven-under for 54 holes.<\/p>\n
Earlier, SSP Chawrasia missed the cut with 71-71.<\/p>\n
American Sean Crocker shot an impressive six-under par round of 64 to join Renato Paratore in a one-shot lead going into the final day.<\/p>\n
“I haven’t done anything new in these last few weeks. I have been working hard though it has not been the best of seasons for me,” said Sharma, who had finished T-9 at Cazoo Classic and T-16 at Hero Open.<\/p>\n
“Last few weeks have shown promise and things seem to be coming together as I have followed my routine and processes better.<\/p>\n
“I like this course and even though I did not make the cut the first time, but I like it. It is my kind of course, really, and I have played well till now. Let’s see how it goes in the final round.”<\/p>\n
On his third round Sharma said, “In the first six holes nothing happened. I missed a small putt on 6th and then the eagle putt on seventh (where he had an eagle on Day 1) lipped out.<\/p>\n
“The ninth was nice as I hit my 3-wood to 35 feet and holed the eagle. Overall 3-under was nice though I may have left a few shots.”<\/p>\n
A cooler day and swirling winds produced tougher scoring conditions, but Crocker notched up the lowest score of the day, recovering from a bogey on the first to record six birdies, an eagle and a further bogey to get to 10-under par.<\/p>\n
For Paratore, an unlikely birdie from the bunker on the 14th and a strong Italian presence inspired him to 1-under 69. Matthew Jordan is one shot off the pace at nine under par, alongside Ross McGowan and Spain’s Jorge Campillo.<\/p>\n
Overnight leader Dean Burmester of South Africa, American John Catlin and Frenchman Adrien Saddier are on eight under par.<\/p>\n
