NEW DELHI: India's Shubhankar Sharma faced a challenging mid-round crisis but managed to salvage the day with a two-over 74, keeping him in contention for his first DP World Tour title since 2018. Sharma, who initially led after the first round and co-led after the second, dropped to a tie for fourth place at 10-under par with a birdie on the final hole.
As Sharma battled through his round, he trailed the leader, Germany's Hurly Long, by three shots. Halfway co-leader Jordan Smith (73) secured the second position at 12-under par, while four-time Major winner Rory McIlroy (66) sat in third place at 11-under par.
