Former pgti order

Former PGTI Order: Sri Lanka’s N. Thangaraja found his way back to the top of the leaderboard and made his good putting form count as he pulled ahead into an imposing five-shot lead in the third round of the INR 1 crore Ahmedabad Open 2025 being played at the Kensville Golf & Country Club near here on Thursday.

The 43-year-old Thangaraja (65-73-69), the Round One leader who had slipped to second place, one spot behind on Day Two, struck a solid three-under 69 on Thursday to regain his lead and move his total to nine-under 207, thus opening up a huge gap over the rest of the field.

Thangaraja, now the hot favourite, will be searching for his fifth PGTI title and his first win since 2023 come Friday. Chandigarh’s Harendra Gupta (70-67-75), the halfway leader, carded a 75 in the penultimate round to drop down to tied second place at four-under 212.
