NEW DELHI — Just like last year, SSP Chawrasia leads the Indian Open after a flawless third-round 68 on Saturday.
The 37-year-old, who won the 2008 Indian Masters over the same tree-lined layout, has a two-shot lead over Terry Pilkadaris (73) of Australia.
Chawrasia went four under for the first eight holes. There were no birdies afterward but Chawrasia scrambled from extremely difficult positions to register 10 straight pars from the ninth to the 18th.
"I want to win it because I have finished second over here four times," said Chawrasia, who is 14 under overall.
