Dharma fires 67 for two-shot lead on penultimate day in Gurgaon Open

Bengaluru’s M Dharma fired a third round of five-under 67 to establish a two-shot lead at a total of 14-under 202, at Rs 1 crore Gurgaon Open 2024 being held at the Classic Golf & Country Club in Nuh on Thursday.

Sachin Baisoya of Delhi ended the penultimate day in second position at 12-under 204 after he carded a 66.

In relatively calmer conditions on Thursday when the wind didn’t play a role as big as it did on Wednesday, Saarthak Chhibber, another Delhi-based professional, returned the day’s best score of 64 to climb 15 spots to tied third at 11-under 205.

Besides Chhibber, the three other players in joint third were Bangladesh’s Md Akbar Hossain (66), Jaipur-based Prakhar Asawa (67) and Mukesh Kumar (67) of Mhow.
