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.
