Another Indian title-winner set up

Chowrasia also found the bushes on his second play-off shot, but followed it up with a stunning one onto the green to give himself a chance for birdie, but ultimately settling for par. Randhawa will rue missing a great chance to then wrap it up with a 4-foot putt for birdie.

Earlier, Vijay, on 13-under overnight, had a crackling start with six birdies on the first eight. Randhawa gave a glimpse of the topsy-turvy day that he was going to have, making two birdies on the first two, but then losing the momentum after play stopped for 45 minutes with overcast skies and lightening threat.

Vijay and Randhawa went neck-and-neck from the 11th to the 15th with both at 18-under. Chowrasia hit three successive birdies 8212; 15th, 16th and 17th 8212; to add to the drama.

On the par-five 18, Vijay threw the gauntlet with a birdie to go to the top. Chowrasia conceded the advantage with a shot too far to the left, but it hit a tree and rolled back for par. Randhawa8217;s birdie gave him the play-off spot.
