Chopra takes two-stroke lead after third round

Daniel Chopra8217;s tendency to be wild off the tee and accurate from the rough led Todd Hamilton8217;s caddie to give him a nickname at the Buick Open. 8220;You8217;re Rambo,8221; he said. Rambo? 8220;Yeah, you8217;re lethal from the trees8221; Chopra recalled the caddie saying.

Now, he has another moniker: Buick Open third-round leader. Chopra shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday to reach 16 under at Warwick Hills and take a two-shot lead into the final round. He made a 15-foot putt for birdie on the last hole after Dudley Hart bogeyed it to earn a cushion. Hart 70, Bubba Watson 68 and Woody Austin 69 were 14-under.

Meanwhile, Shiv Kapur shot four-under on the last day to finish tied 21st at Open de France with a total of three-under 281. Joining him there was Jeev Milkha Singh, who moved up from his tied 27th after a round of two-under 69. Jyoti Randhawa was 66th.

In Thailand, Arjun Singh signed off with a level-par card to end tied 15th, while Gaganjeet Bhullar was tied 20th courtesy a final round of two-under 70 at the Thailand PGA Championship.
