Twenty-five-year-old Spaniard Eugenio Chacarra grinded his way to a 1-over 73 to take a one-shot lead over defending champion Japan’s Keita Nakajima (74) and South African Brandon Stone (71) after the third round of the 2025 Hero Indian Open.
Two others, England's Matthew Jordan (73) and Sweden’s Jens Dantorp (73) were another shot behind at 1-under for three days.
The top Indian was Ajeetesh Sandhu, who had two birdies in last four holes, that included the 18th, for a 74 and a four-over total. He was at the Tied-15th place, moving ten places up from his overnight Tied-25th.
Sandhu was even par for the front nine, but what did him in were three bogeys in five holes between the 10th and the 14th but he did well to pick two birdies against one bogey in the last four holes.
Veer Ahlawat (74) at five-over is T-18th. Ahlawat had two birdies, including one on the 18th against two bogeys and a double bogey that came on the Par-5 eighth hole.
Gaganjeet Bhullar’s round of 78 saw him slip 13 spots to Tied-33rd place at a total of seven-over.
