Mexican wave at DGC

Pablo del Olmo fired another brilliant round today, carding a five-under-par, 67 to wrest an outright lead with a total of 14-under-par, 202, after the penultimate round of the Asian PGA Tour8217;s 300,000 Royal Challenge Indian Open. The Mexican professional, who carded an opening round 69, followed by a 66 yesterday, heads into the final round with a three-stroke lead over overnight leaders Mardan Mamat and Keith Horne, who both carded identical scores of two-under-par at the Delhi Golf Course today. 8216;8216;I got lucky,8217;8217; said the leader, who seems destined to win this week. Heading down the final stretch, Pablo missed a short putt for a birdie on the par-five 18th, but his score could have been much worse after he pushed his three-iron second shot to the left.

However, his ball hit the trees and came to rest just behind the fairway bunker. An excellent chip that hit his playing partner, Thaworn8217;s ball, finished two feet from the cup for a birdie, resulting in a comfortable par. 8216;8216;I think the Indian Gods smiled on me today,8217;8217; he added after his round.
