Cheonan, Jun 24: India’s S Chikkarangappa carded six-over 75 to slip to Tied-28th after the third round of the Kolon Korea Open at the Woo Jeong Hills Country Club here on Saturday.
Chikka (69-73-75), who began the week with a two-under 69 to be in Top-5 after the first day, is one of the two Indians to make the cut out of the five golfers who started the tournament.
The other one is Honey Baisoya (73-72-75) at 7-over and Tied-41st.
Meanwhile, Seungsu Han continued his impressive run shooting a one-over-par 72 for a six-under-par tournament total, to maintain the lead for the third day in a row.
The Indians who missed the cut were Viraj Madappa (74-76), SSP Chawrasia (74-76), Karandeep Kochhar (80-71), Ajeetesh Sandhu (77-76) and Rahil Gangjee (76-77).
Leader Han has a one-shot advantage over fellow Korean Jaekyeong Lee on a hot and sunny day on the stunning but exacting Woo Jeong Hills track.
Lee carded a 70 in what was a two-horse race all day, with Australian Junseok Lee (68) and Ian Snyman from South Africa (72) the next best placed, tied for third, four back from Han.
Only six players are under par after three rounds at the event, which is part of The Open Qualifying Series. (AP)
