Thailand’s Settee Prakongvech fired a bogey-free 68 to take a three-shot lead at 13-under. Gaganjeet Bhullar and Pukhraj Gill climbed to tied 36th, while Kartik Singh dropped to tied 36th after a 75.

El Jadida, Morocco: Karandeep Kochhar stayed as the best Indian at the US$500,000 AM Green IGPL Bharath Classic with one more to go in the Asian Tour event.

The 27-year-old Chandigarh golfer shot 2-under 70 as he moved to 7-under total but slipped from Tied-fifth overnight to Tied-10th as the wind continued to challenge the golfers.

The leader is Thailand’s Settee Prakongvech, who carded 68 and moved to 13-under and three ahead of his nearest rivals, overnight joint leader Runchanapong Youprayong (71) and Sweden’s Charlie Lindh (67).

For Kochhar it was a day of missed opportunities as he failed to convert the chances he created especially towards the finish.
