The moving day of the $4 million DP World India Championship saw Eugenio Chacarra surge to the top after an incomplete Round 3, while Tommy Fleetwood and Gregorio De Leo carded the best overall scores among those who completed their rounds on Saturday.
“It’s nice when you’re at the top but there is a lot of golf left still. But I like where I’m at. I like where my game is. He added: “I just play to win. I love winning. There is a lot of golf left still. But, yeah, I like where I’m at. I need to control what I can control, and that’s my target for the next couple rounds. I need to get my momentum going and hopefully I can keep doing that. A gentle shrug and a few handshakes is how he celebrated it even as the crowd gasped in collective awe. Tournament’s official website recorded it as his best putt of the week. I’ve played here many times, so I know how to plan my way around the course and where to position the ball.
Chacarra scorched the greens for the second successive day, carding 4-under—14-under for the tournament—after playing 11 holes of Round 3 on the humid day. His broken toe still healing, Chacarra sank seven birdies in Round 2. I need to control what I can control, and that’s my target for the next couple of rounds,” he said after Round 2 where he carded 5-under. Birdie on the par 3 seventh would have brought him great delight, where a 185-yard tee shot brought him on the green and Chacarra proceeded to nail a 41-feet putt. “My body was feeling very tight after playing 36 holes, but I stayed focussed.
When play was suspended at 5:44 PM due to darkness, the Spaniard held a two-shot lead over Joost Luiten (12 holes) and Angel Hidalgo (11 holes).
That experience has helped me,” Chouhan said. I love being in contention on Sunday. That’s what I play every week for, you have a chance to win the tournament the last nine holes on Sunday.
