Three-time DP World Tour winner Indian golfer Arjun Atwal shot a 5-under 67 in the third round to jump into the third place at the Senior Open.
Atwal, who had a sedate opening with a 3-over 75 on the first day bounced back on the second day with a 4-under 68 that included seven birdies against one bogey and one double bogey.
On the third day, Atwal’s upward progress continued with a round of 67 that had seven birdies against two bogeys which took him to a total of six-under 210 for 54 holes.
Among other Indians, Jeev Milkha Singh (73-76-76) was T-52, while Jyoti Randhawa (76-80) missed the cut.
No Indian has won a Senior Major. Atwal is also the only Indian to have won on the PGA Tour, back in 2010.
Atwal is two shots behind leader KJ Choi of South Korea (69-69-70) who is at 8-under. Australian Richard Green (69-72-68) is second at 7-under.
Atwal is two clear of Englishman Paul Broadhurst, who is lying fourth on four under.
