Chikkarangappa far ahead

BANGALORE: Chikkarangappa’s supremacy in the Eagleton junior/sub-junior golf tournament is almost a forgone conclusion.

Playing at his home course, Chikkarangappa may not have replicated his first day’s brilliance but his card of one over 73 for the third round was good enough to keep him in the lead in both ‘A’ and ‘B’ categories.

13-stroke cushion

In the combined ‘A’ and ‘B’ section Chikkarangappa enjoyed a 13-stroke cushion over Khalin Joshi, while in the ‘B’ section, Chikkarangappa had a whopping 16-stroke lead over Trishul Chinappa.

In the ‘C’ category, Manu Gundas was the clear leader with an 11-stroke advantage over Akshath Vaidyanath. Subhankar Sharma made the tussle for the runner-up spot interesting lying just one stroke behind Sharma.

In the ‘D’ category, Zachary Justin Yusuf eked out a two-stroke lead over Wednesday’s joint leader Piyush Sangwan.

The scores:

A & B combined: 1. Chikkarangappa 211; 2. Khalin Joshi 224; 3. Trishul Chinappa and Prafful Chand 227; 5. Vicky Sharma 229; 6. Immamul Haque 230.

B category: 1. Chikkarangappa 211; 2. Trishul Chinappa; 3. Rahul Ravi 231; 4. Hemendra Choudary 234; 5. Vashishta Pawar and K. Anirudha 243.
