Wasim leads at PGTI Final Qualifying Stage

Ahmedabad  :  Delhis Wasim Khan surged ahead in round three of the Final Qualifying Stage for the 2018 Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) season being held at the Kensville Golf & Country Club here on Friday.

Wasim Khan (74-71-71) climbed five places from his overnight tied sixth as a result of a second successive round of one-under 71 that took his total to even-par 216, according to a release.

Wasim's two birdies on the front-nine were negated by his double-bogey on the fourth. But the professional from the Delhi Golf Club had a better back-nine where he made three birdies at the expense of two bogeys.

He closed the round in style with a mammoth 70-feet birdie conversion on the 18th after having recovered well from the hazard.

Second round leader Kunal Bhasin (75-67-75) of Australia slipped to tied second place at one-over 217 after returning a score of 75 on day three.

Chennai-based amateur Shivnaren Srinivasan (72-71-74) joined Bhasin in tied second as he carded a 74 on Friday.

At the end of round four on Saturday, the top 36 players will earn full cards for the 2018 PGTI season.
