Golf: Bhattacharya, Jaglan Spearhead Indian Challenge At Asian Tour Qualifying School
Asian Tour Qualifying School: Shaurya Bhattacharya surged into contention with a superb 6-under 65 in the third round of the Final Stage of the Asian Tour Qualifying School, moving up to tied second at the Lake View Resort & Golf Club. Bhattacharya, who began the day tied 15th, followed opening rounds of 70 and 67 to reach 11-under for the tournament.
The 22-year-old produced the highlight of his round by chipping in on consecutive holes on the back nine — an eagle on the 15th followed by a birdie on the 16th. Bhattacharya now trails surprise leader Tomohiro Ishizaka of Japan by a single stroke.
Ishizaka, who advanced to this week’s Final Stage through a pre-qualifier, carded a brilliant 7-under 64 on the C&D course to take the outright lead at 12-under. He holds a one-shot advantage over Bhattacharya and Mexico’s Roberto Lebrija (67), while Korean amateur Minchan Kim sits a further stroke back after a 68.
