Fiji Aug 4 (IANS) Indias Gaganjeet Bhullar snatched the third round lead with a three-under-par 69 at the Fiji International golf tournament here on Saturday.
The 30-year-old has won under blustery conditions before most notably in Macau and he believes he can replicate that similar winning form as he holds a one-shot advantage over the Australian quartet of Jake McLeon Jarryd Felton Terry Pilkadaris and Andrew Dodt with his three-day total of eight-under-par 208.
McLeon who finished tied-second in Thailand last week hopes to ride on his good form and surmount a challenge on the day which matters most after returning with a 70 at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course.
Overnight leader Ben Campbell of New Zealand meanwhile had a day to forget when he saw his four-shot advantage wiped out after returning with a 77 to slip down to sixth place.
South Africa s Ernie Els a four-time Major champion and former world number one underlined his credentials by signing for a 69 to haul himself back into contention.
