Joshua Berry moves into sole lead after late flourish on Day 3 in Kolkata

Kolkata, Mar 16 (UNI) England’s Joshua Berry, who set the course

record of 10-under 62 on day 2, moved into the sole lead

after shooting a stoic two-under 70 in round three that featured a

late flourish at the Kolkata Challenge 2025,

being played at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club (RCGC) here.

Berry’s (72-62-70) three-day total of 12-under 204 gave him a one-shot

advantage at the top.

Austria’s Lukas Nemecz (67-70-68) climbed from tied fourth to second

position following his score of 68 in round three.

India’s Om Prakash Chouhan (66-68-73), the overnight joint leader,

carded a 73 on Saturday to slip four places to tied fifth position at

nine-under 207.

Nineteen-year-old Joshua Berry, who was the overnight joint leader

along with Om Prakash Chouhan, made two early bogeys on Saturday.

Joshua then roared back into contention by adding four birdies to his

card including three in quick succession between the 14th and 17th. He

converted a 35-footer for birdie on the ninth.

Berry, who secured DP World Tour playing status at Qualifying School

in 2023 as an amateur and then did so again as a professional in 2024,

felt patience was crucial on a challenging day.

Thirty-eight-year-old Om Prakash Chouhan, who won on the HotelPlanner

Tour and at the RCGC in 2023, made a couple of birdies on Saturday but

also dropped three bogeys.

Arjun Prasad was the next best Indian as he tied 12th place at

six-under 210 following his third round of 68 which featured an eagle,

three birdies and a bogey.

Gaganjeet Bhullar (71) and Dhruv Sheoran (73) were placed tied 15th at

five-under 211 thus making it four Indians in the top-20.

SSP Chawrasia and Ajeetesh Sandhu, two other prominent Indian names,

were placed tied 24th at four-under 212.
