GURUGRAM: You can have a ball then have a free fall on the Black Knight course. But 'steady' must be Aline Krauter's middle name. The only one to return under-par scores in all three rounds, the German flashed a knowing smile. "One more day, one more day," the warning bell rang.
Friday's all-black attire changed to all-white on Saturday but she wasn't trying to make a style statement. The only expression that mattered was on the course. Her miserly giveaway of 3 bogeys in this year's Hero Women's Indian Open puts her on the right track with a total of 11-under as she claimed a two-stroke lead from Swede Sara Kjellker going into the final test. The 23-year-old, who had a glowing amateur career, stood on the cusp of her first pro triumph with a third-round 68 and it was all down to her ball striking. "Same as the last couple of days," she said. "Nothing has changed; I didn't make that many putts."
