2018 PGTI Qualifying School-Final Stage: Golf City's Yashas fares well

Mysuru lad M.S. Yashas Chandra returned with a three-day card of 224 (74+72+78), and is placed 25th at the end of the round three of the PGTI Final Qualifying Stage for the 2018 PGTI Golf Tour being held at Kensville Golf & Country Club here yesterday. Delhi’s Wasim Khan surged ahead in round three of the PGTI’s Final Qualifying Stage. 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. 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 today, the top 36 players will earn full cards for the 2018 PGTI season.
