Spaniard Quim Vidal opens up three-shot lead in round three

Kolkata, Mar 22 (UNI) Spaniard Quim Vidal signed for a third round of six-under 66 to open up a three-shot lead at a total of 17-under at Delhi Challenge 2025, being played at the Classic Golf & Country Club in Haryana on Saturday.
Vidal (65-68-66), who was in a four-way tie for the lead after round two, delivered a flawless 66 that featured four birdies on the last five holes and helped him race ahead of the rest.
Englishman Joshua Berry (69-66-67), winner of the Kolkata Challenge last week, carded a 67 on day three to be placed second at 14-under 202. Berry too produced a bogey-free round.
Austria’s Lucas Nemecz (70) is a further shot back at 13-under 203, alongside fellow countryman Maximilian Steinlechner (65) and American Davis Bryant (69).
Kshitij Naveed Kaul (69-66-69) mixed six birdies with three bogeys during his third round of 69 to climb one spot to tied sixth position at 12-under 204 and thus continue as the highest-placed Indian.
Arjun Prasad (70) was the other Indian in the top-10 as he occupied tied 10th place at 10-under 206.
The Indian trio of Honey Baisoya (68), Varun Parikh (70) and Harshjeet Singh Sethie (70) were placed tied 15th at nine-under 207 thus making it six Indians in the top-20.
Quim Vidal, who landed it close to the flag all day, made a solitary birdie on the front-nine followed by a chip-in birdie on the 11th. He then pocketed four birdies on the last five holes to surge ahead.
Kshitij Naveed Kaul, who has been in prime driving form this week, had mixed fortunes on the front-nine as he made three birdies and bogeys each. Kshitij made a chip-in and a 20-footer for birdies on the front-nine but also missed a couple of chip-putts to concede bogeys.
The back-nine brought much better news for Kaul where he enjoyed a late surge thanks to his three birdies on the last five holes. Kshitij’s birdies on the back-nine came as a result of a couple of quality chip-putts and a 10-feet conversion. He scored birdies on all the four par-5 holes.
