Sharma lies 53rd at British Masters

Wishaw, UK: Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma was lying

tied 53rd after an actionpacked closing with birdies on

15th and 18th besides two bogeys in between in the third round of the Betfred British

Masters here. The only Indian to make the cut

among four participants, Sharma carded 1-under 71 in the third round of the tournament

hosted by Danny Willett. S.S.P. Chawrasia, Ajeetesh Sandhu and Gaganjeet Bhullar

had missed the cut. England’s Eddie Pepperell’s bid to win the British Masters for a second time got a boost as he carried a one-stroke lead into

the final round.

Tvesa Malik battled swirling winds and gusts of up to 35km per hour but still made the cut at the Investec South African Women’s Open in Cape Town.
