Harendra finishes runners-up

Taipei: Indian golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar turned in the second-best card of the day — a four-under 68 — to make a sharp upward move to tied fifth after the third round of the Mercuries Taiwan Masters. Bhullar,winner in Taipei two weeks ago,rose from 34th to fifth with a round of 68 at the 6923 Yards Tamsui Course. The only other Indian to make the cut,Anirban Lahiri,also moved up two places from tied 16th to 14th despite a round of 75. The day’s best came from local hope Tsai Chi-huang,who celebrated his 44th birthday with a seven-under 65 as he opened up a six-shot lead at the end of the third round. Joint-overnight leader Tsai put himself in prime position of repeating his triumph in the event in 2002 as he posted a three-day total of eight-under 208 in relatively calm conditions at the Taiwan Golf and Country Club. Bhullar,who has been having a great season,gave himself a chance of moving further up on the Order of Merit from his current sixth place,as he handled the conditions well.
