Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma, who was gingerly placed when play was suspended on the second day, shot 3-under for three rounds to be placed T-53rd and make the cut in the BMW PGA Championships. Sharma, who shot 3-under 69 in the second round after a first round 73 made the cut comfortably. In the third round late he birdied three times in the first six holes and added a fourth on 12th to go 4-under for the day as he climbed into the Top-25.
Then he had a bogey on Par-3 14th and a double bogey on par-5 17th and finished the day with a round of 71. At 3-under, he slipped to T-53. Ludvig Aberg will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the BMW PGA Championship as he looks to add a Rolex Series title to his recent meteoric rise at Wentworth Club. The Swede turned professional in June after a stellar amateur career that saw him become a collegiate superstar en route to topping the World Amateur Golf Ranking. His transition into the paid ranks has been seamless, with a maiden DP World Tour victory in Switzerland earlier this month followed by selection to take on the United States in the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club. A 66 on day three moved him to 16 under and the 23-year-old now has the chance to make it back-to-back wins, with Ryder Cup team-mate Tommy Fleetwood and Scot Connor Syme his nearest challengers.
